Tasting - La Lejania Sauvignon Blanc - Jan. 28, 2016

Name: Vicar La Lejania Sauvignon Blanc
Variety: Sauvignon Blanc
Region: Central Valley, Chile
Country: Chile
Year: 2015
Price: $10

Winery Review: Aromas of green apple and citrus are as classic as it gets for Chilean Sauvignon Blanc. This is straight forward but enjoyable, with modest minerality. Flavors of citrus and gooseberry carry over onto a refreshing finish. (Vintage Wine Cellar, Blacksburg, VA)

My Review: This is the first wine I have tasted for this class and it was interesting. Not really knowing what to look for was a problem. When I first smelled it just smelled like a light wine that didn't have any special features. The initial taste was sweet and slightly fruity. The finish was light and not too overpowering. Definitely sweet for my taste. All in all, good intro to light wines.
