Sierra Cruz Sauvignon Blanc

Name: Sierra Cruz Sauvignon Blanc
Variety: Sauvignon Blanc
Region: Maule Valley

Country: Chile
Year: 2011
Price: $6.95

Winery Review:

This Chilean Sauvignon Blanc just oozes with bright citrus flavors and a nose of herbs and grass.
Stylistically, it is a cross between the herbal, grassy wines so prevalent in Sonoma County and the riper, more fruit forward products of New Zealand. Match it with pasta sauced with arugula, pine nuts, mushrooms and parmesan. -Vintage Cellar

My review:
Smell - With this wine, there wasn't a lot going on in the aroma. It wasn't very potent at all. There was a slight citrus. 

Taste -I got heavy citrusy flavors on the front end of this wine. It was dry and slightly sour. There was a little fruitiness on the back end, but overall just like the smell there wasn't a lot going on. It was just kind of a "bleh" wine in my book.

I tasted this wine without food.
