Slighlty salinic on the nose, sort of like a swimming pool. The palate is solid if a bit generic, with standard apple and underripe peach flavors resulting in a modest overall package. Pithy and quiet on the finish. ——M.S.(3/1/2010)—— 85

Generic in every way, but commendable for its freshness, green-fruit aromas and body. This wine offers nothing more than mid-level fruit flavors, but it’s flush and nice enough on the palate. Some bitterness to the finish re-emphasizes its basic quality.——M.S.(3/1/2009)—— 83

Gracia de Chile is doing some good value varietals. This SB is one of them; it’s peachy and citrusy on the nose, with melon and grapefruit flavors in wait. The palate has just enough weight and zest to be called balanced, and the finish lingers. Nice wine for by-the-glass.——M.S.(9/1/2008)—— 86
