Monique Sosa rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

Sure fooled me! I tasted this wine blind and was absolutely sure it was from New Zealand, as all its characteristics screamed benchmark Marlborough Sauv Bl. Needless to say I was incorrect. Aromas and flavours are pronounced with key notes of lime zest, grapefruit, canned green beans, passion fruit and green pineapple. The acidity is through he roof with a long mouthwatering 'minerally' lime zest finish. I do not typically go for this style of Sauvignon Blanc but I have to give Chile props for this one. The Casablanca appellation in Chile is producing some quality Sauv Bl at a fraction of the cost their counterparts in New Zealand. Enjoy pairing this light bodied crisp white with shrimp ceviche, grilled seafood skewers or zesty summer salads.

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
