Errazuriz Max Reserva Sauvignon Blanc 2013
Aconcagua Valley, Chile$16.00
Gooseberry, nettles, grassiness, and grapefruit on the nose. It is very fruity with crisp acidity, a light-to-medium body and a lingering aftertaste. Great complexity and balance.

Pepper, plums, coffee, nuts, vanilla, and herbs on the nose. Plenty of ripe fruit with softening tannins and medium-bodied. Good value, but lacking that something extra to put it over the top.

Villa Maria Private Bin Sauvignon Blanc 2011, Marlborough
New Zealand$16.95
Grassiness, gooseberries, and asparagus on the nose. It has crisp acidity and plenty of fruit, but seems to lack body. Clearly a high quality wine, but lacking the bit extra to put it over the top.
