Cono Sur is a Chilean wine brand that I’ve grown to trust for good to very good wines, but I have yet to taste one of their wines that blows me away as exceptional.  Yet, I’ll take that good consistency as an attribute for which they deserve credit.  And while I don’t recall ever looking at a Cono Sur wine and saying, “Yes! That’s my favorite!” I do know that when I’m offered one of their wines my expectation is that it will be good.

If there is a particular Cono Sur wine that you want to check out, you do need to pay attention to the name as they have several different lines of wine.  This one is from their “Organic” line, which you can identify at a glance by the bicycle on the label.

It’s a little bit restrained on the nose, but very nice nonetheless.  There’s a wet stone aroma that is cool and calming, and it just makes me smile.  There’s also soft citrus and a little bit of vegetal aroma, but not much.  The acidity and mouth feel are spot on.  This one has a lot of green apple flavor and a little bit of lemon.  The apple lasts well into the finish.  Consistent with my general take on Cono Sur wine, I like this one a lot but it doesn’t totally blow me away.
