Albamar Sauvignon Blanc, Tropical and Tantalizing

Here’s a quick sauvignon blanc review.

Casablanca Valley in Chile is one of my favorite regions in the world for sauvignon blanc.  It’s a cool-climate region that produces crisp, tropical sauvignon blanc.  And the value of the wines produced there can’t be beat.

This one from Albamar showcases some of what makes sauvignon blanc from this region so tasty.

Grapefruit and pineapple dominate the aromatics on this wine, giving it a nice, tropical flavor.  The palate is tart and citrusy, offering lemon, grapefruit, melon and mineral flavors.  The mineral really comes out on the finish, which has a slight saltiness.  This is a good sauvignon blanc.
