2008 Montes "Leyda Vineyard" Sauvignon Blanc Chile
Sauvignon Blanc from Chile...the first one that I've ever had. It's pretty good. Grassy aromas, balanced by citrus fruit, maybe a little green melon, and hell, we could venture into the cliche arena and say gooseberry (but maybe I'll go with Salmon Berry since I've actually eaten one of those...the point being there is some other form of fruit besides citrus), nice acidity, and ripe fruit. Nice citrus-oil finish. Not minerally like Sancerre--this is much fruitier, but definitely a refreshing summer drink. Not exactly scintillating, but perfect as a summer drink. 10$ at Costco, which is 3$ less than K&L and a bargain. B+
