This one was pretty good. Kind of a big leap of faith, though, when I took the first sip because of the smell. It smelled a bit empty and eggy (sulfurous). There was however a hint of citrus. I didn't let the wine sit for a bit after it was poured though or give it a long sniff so it may have not had time to open up and bring out the fruitiness. As for taste it was tart. It was not an overwhelming tartness because of the nice citrus flavor. You'd get the same sensation from a sour candy. I hadn't been eating at the time but I am an avid food critique so what I would eat it with did come to mind. I'd have it with a white fish and a mild side (rice or steamed veggies). It's taste was a tad lingering and overwhelming for anything that would have a lot going on but would pair nicely with that kind of fish. My fiance was there tasting with me and was later able to identify the sulfurous smell as cat pee. Don't let that turn you off of it though I still liked the wine overall. I just wish I had something to go with it

What Others Say: Couldn't find an official review of the wine, but the man in charge of the tasting made some good points.He said the wine would have aromas of green apple and citrus as is present in a classic Chilean Sauvignon Blanc. Straight forwards wine with a modest mineral taste make it enjoyable. The citrus and berry flavors make for a refreshing taste
