Round on the nose, with green-apple aromas. There’s no angularity or sharpness to this SB despite full acidity, and the flavors of orange and grapefruit are alert but pithy. A good but regular effort, especially for warm-climate Colchagua.——M.S.(3/1/2009)—— 85

The 2007 Sauvignon Blanc Reserve is light straw-colored with a pleasant bouquet of fresh herbs, grapefruit, and lemon-lime. On the palate the wine has good depth of flavor, crisp acidity, and a vibrant finish. Drink it over the next 12-18 months. Importer: Prestige Wine Group, Princeton, MN; www.prestigewinegroup.com

Fairly pungent on the nose as it offers gooseberry, citrus and other typical grassy, green aromas. The palate provides mostly citrus flavors, particularly tangerine and grapefruit. A minor amount of character and complexity make it worth a go.——M.S.(3/1/2007)—— 84
