Peñalolen Sauvignon Blanc

OK, this is going to be a short and sweet review tonight.  It’s another Chilean sauvignon blanc from Casablanca Valley, and another one that I totally dig.  I don’t have a whole lot of background on the producer, Peñalolen, other than what we mentioned with the review of the Peñalolen cabernet sauvignon.

Penalolen Sauvignon Blanc

This is a nice example of a Casablanca Valley sauvignon blanc, with intense grapefruit and pineapple aromas over a vegetal aroma that I’d describe as pea pods and tomato leaf.  In the mouth it’s a citrus hat trick with grapefruit, lemon and lime flavors.  A little apple flavor comes in on the finish, but the grapefruit is still pretty powerful there too.  The acidity is nice and crisp.  Simply put, it’s a really tasty sauvignon blanc.
