Another Chilensis wine, this one Sauvignon Blanc. At
first, I honestly didn't like it, but that could have been
based on the fact that I was drinking with four true
Irishmen yesterday and my taste buds are wrecked (they are
great guys, and we'll be hanging together again soon).
I normally like high citrus in my Sauvignon Blanc, and
this one has a more mellow level of it, but the nose is
exceptionally floral. The taste has both shale/mineral and
herbal components, rather than the traditional
pineapple/lemon citrus aspect.
This is a great 'water' wine, meaning that it would be
perfect for consumption while near any marine body of water,
whether while on the water, or simply near it. Sometimes,
change is good.
