Casa Lapostolle Sauvignon Blanc 2009, Rapel Valley, Chile: Vintages Wine Panel: Casa Lapostolle has established itself as one of the most dependable Chilean producers of quality wines. This light and refreshing Sauvignon Blanc has an attractive nose of lemon zest and tropical fruit. It’s dry and somewhat round with a tropical-fruit medley of flavors and a citrusy finish. My note: Melon and chives with lovely lemongrass undernotes. 396994 13.50% D 750 mL  $13.95 Score: 87/100. October 24, 2009 Full Review
