Tasting - Santa Luz Sauvignon Blanc

Name: Santa Luz Sauvignon Blanc
Variety: 100% Sauvignon Blanc
Region: Valle Central
Country: Chile
Year: 2013
Price: $11.00
Shop Review: "Like any good Sauvignon Blanc, this opens with oceanic aromas of citrus fruits, sea foam and minerality. In the mouth, it is juicy and stony, with washing acidity. Flavors of honeydew, lime and a nice grassiness finish firm, with good backbone. Drink this with salads, shellfish and ceviche."
My Review: This golden colored Sauvignon Blanc smelled strongly of alcohol to me. Initially it tasted dry, but its aftertaste was floral and more enjoyable. I could sense slight hints of apple. I didn't really like this wine and probably wouldn't drink it again. Was not paired with any food.
