Montes Limited Selection Sauvignon Blanc 2007

August 31, 2008 | by Jason Bordley | Tasting Notes, Value, Whites

A great buy at $9.99, the Montes Limited Selection Sauvignon Blanc 2007 is a solid Sauvignon Blanc from the Leyda Valley of Chile.

Made from 100% Sauvignon Blanc, this is a very crisp and pleasant wine. Its light yellow in color, with a bouquet of vegetables (asparagus really stands out here) and hints of citrus fruits. Vegetable flavors greet you on the front palate. Followed by stronger flavors of lemon rind, lime zest, grapefruit, granny smith apples, and minerals on the finish. A good acidic level leaves your mouth feeling fresh.

This is definitely one of my “go to” wines when I’m wanting (or suggesting) a nice no-fuss value priced Sauvignon Blanc.
