Babor Sauvignon Blanc 2011 (about $10)






About the Wine:  South America is best known in the wine world for its bold, robust reds.  Malbec, Pinot Noir, Merlot, Carmenere, and Cabernet Sauvignon have all found good homes in the vineyards of Chile and Argentina.  Less known are South American whites, including Chilean Sauvignon Blanc.

About THIS Wine:  It is very light in the glass, almost clear.  Floral notes and hints of citrus make up an agreeable nose.  The palate is light for a Sauvignon Blanc, though there is enough sharp citrus present to clearly identify the varietal.  It finishes with light citrus.

Drinking This Wine:  This is a pleasant sipping wine for hot weather but it does have enough structure to be drinkable in the colder months.

Overall Impression:  The wine is cheap and pleasant.  This one is good for the price.
