Santa Rita Sauvignon Blanc 120 2007

Valle del Lontué, Valle del Maule, Region del Valle Central, ChileThe workhorse Santa Rita sauvignon benefits from the research done at the reserve level and from the high-end Floresta Leyda project. The 120 sauvignon is an 85/15 blend of sauvignon fruit from Maule and Casablanca and it is all stainless steel fermented. The 2007 is now under screwcap making it almost untouchable in its price category for value. Look for fresh citrus bell pepper aromas flecked with grassy, chalky grapefruit notes. Well-made, affordable modern sauvignon.Tasted: 10 June 2008Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
