Bonterra Sauvignon Blanc 2010 (about $13)






About the Wine:  Bonterra used to be the benchmark for organic wines.  Unfortunately, quality and pricing issues have weakened its standing in the market and it has disappeared from many stores.  Concha y Toro recently purchased the brand with the aim of revamping it.

About THIS Wine:  This wine is hay colored in the glass with a clear rim, a touch light for a Sauvignon Blanc but within an acceptable range.  Kiwi and mango make up a fairly pleasant nose.  The palate is acidic with a bitter finish.

Drinking This Wine:  It could work with a fruit platter, something sweet enough to counteract the bitter finish.

Overall Impression:  Taste is always subjective, but this wine just is not very good by any standard.  It is over priced.
