Whispy and lightweight on the nose, with hints of celery, sweat and passion fruit. There’s not a ton to say about this pedestrian but well-made Sauvignon. It is citrusy with a touch of bell pepper, and it finishes in a comfortable way. Classic everyday SB from Casablanca is what this tastes, smells and feels like. Drink now.

Clean and fresh, and also varietally correct as it unloads full but accurate aromas of cucumber, passion fruit and lime. Casas del Bosque does very well with Sauvignon Blanc. This wine has all the citrus, tang and style you could ask for, but it shows good depth and complexity as well, which is what pushes it up to the next level. For $14, this wine delivers plenty.

Oceanic and mildly green on the nose, with grassy notes and appealing citrusy scents. The palate is juicy, crisp and zesty, with flavors of fresh lettuce, lime and green herbs. Finishes light and pretty.

Piercing and pungent up front, with sharp-edged aromas of nettle, lime, arugula and green bean. The palate is lithe and crisp, with green-leaning flavors of lettuce, lime and passion fruit. Lasting on the finish, with bell pepper and celery. A prime example of cool-climate Chilean SB.

Rare is the Chilean SB that rises high enough to be called gorgeous, but this wine is just that. New Zealand-born winemaker Grant Phelps has crafted a bright, bold, citric Sauvignon that’s crisp as a mountain stream and endowed with tangy, lovely flavors of tangerine, lime, pineapple and green apple. Long and delicious; a cut above the rest.
