Tasting - Sierra Cruz Sauvignon Blanc

Name: Sierra Cruz Sauvignon Blanc
Variety: Sauvignon Blanc
Country: Chile
Region: Maule Valley
Year: 2011
Price: $6.95

Winery Review:
This Chilean Sauvignon Blanc just oozes with bright citrus flavors and a nose of herbs and grass. Sylistically, 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 arugala, pine nuts, mushrooms and parmesan.

My Review:
This wine has a citrusy nose, but has a very sharp and kind of stale tasting body and does not finish well with a bad aftertaste.  

I tasted this alone without food.
