Another Chilensis wine, this one Sauvignon Blanc. At first, I honestly didn't like it, but that could have been based on the fact that I was drinking with four true Irishmen yesterday and my taste buds are wrecked (they are great guys, and we'll be hanging together again soon).

I normally like high citrus in my Sauvignon Blanc, and this one has a more mellow level of it, but the nose is exceptionally floral. The taste has both shale/mineral and herbal components, rather than the traditional pineapple/lemon citrus aspect.

This is a great 'water' wine, meaning that it would be perfect for consumption while near any marine body of water, whether while on the water, or simply near it. Sometimes, change is good.
