A White Wine That Falls Flat - Even at a Low Price
summarizeEditor's Summary
I'm always on the lookout for a great white wine, but this Chilean Sauvignon Blanc fell flat, even at a relatively low price. The design is pretty standard, but you get what you pay for. With the hot summer days approaching, I was craving something lighter, but this wine didn't deliver. It's a total letdown, especially considering the price and the fact that it's a popular grape variety. If you're looking for a good white wine, keep looking – this one's not worth it. I'm not impressed with the taste, and the price isn't low enough to make up for it.

The Bottle
The design is pretty standard for a Chilean wine. I thought maybe it would be a bit more interesting, but you get what you pay for.
This wine is pretty young, which is normal for a table wine. I mean, it's not going to blow your mind or anything.
The bottom is what you'd expect from a budget segment - it's not premium, but it's not bad either.
The essential details about the wine
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Taste
Let's take a look at what they promise - a divine nectar with flavors of tropical fruits, fresh-cut grass, and blackcurrant. Sounds great, right? But as soon as you open it, the smell just hits you. It's overpowering, and you'll need to pour it into a decanter and let it breathe just to make it drinkable.
And then there's the taste itself - it's sour, with no fruit or grass notes to speak of. Just booze and acidity. When we had it with parmesan, it was tolerable, but I'd say it's best avoided. And what a surprise - the next morning, I had a headache. A bottle of wine for two adults on a full stomach is definitely not the right dose for a headache, let alone two glasses in one evening.

The Verdict
If you hate someone and are going to a party, buy it as a gift. I mean, it's cheap, but it's not even worth that. I'd rather drink water than this wine. The value for money is zero. Don't waste your money on this one, trust me.
Rating Breakdown:
Value for Money: 1/5

In short, I'd give this wine a solid 1/5 stars. It's not worth the money, and there are better options out there. If you're looking for a good white wine, keep looking. This one's a disappointment.
