Carrabba's Italian Grill, 4/27/13
Name: Veramonte Sauvignon Blanc
Variety: Sauvignon Blanc
Region: Casablanca Valley
Country: Chile
Year: 2011
Price: $7.50/glass or $29/bottle (I'm POSITIVE it's cheaper at places other than the restaurant)
Public review: "Aroma: Fresh lemon-lime fruit, intense peach, citrus, and herbs mingle with floral accents. Tasting notes: Medium-bodied with tropical and citrus fruit flavors of white grapefruit and lime with a long crisp finish and some minerality. Winemaker notes: Warm days and cool nights contribute to long, even ripening. Sauvignon Blanc vines are trellised with an interior tunnel to increase airflow so that the grapes do not overheat and retain freshness, aromatics and flavor. The wine is fermented in stainless steel."
My review: Strong floral nose. Nice, fresh floral taste. Good acidity, and just enough flavor to balance it. Relatively dry. It was served chilled, which accented the warmer floral notes in the wine.
With food?: Yes, calamari appetizer
Did buy?: Not more than the one glass used for tasting
