Louise Wilson rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

A fresh and lively wine offering generous aromatics of chopped basil and asparagus. Mouthwatering flavours of lime zest and green apple follow. Unoaked, crisp and dry with a satisfying finish. The perfect sushi wine? Drink now to next vintage. Tasted Nov 2014.

Sean O'Regan rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

Oct 23, 2014: Tasted blind at NCSG Vintage pre-release event.
Pale yellow, the intense nose on this is a dead giveaway to the wine being Sauvignon-Blanc with herbaceousnous, gooseberry, citrus grapefruit, green peas, light tropical and candyfloss notes. The palate is also intensely flavoured with citrus lemon/grapefuit, gooseberry and passion fruit. Light bodied and crisp with a long finish. The surprise comes finding out that this was from Chile, as it is very much Marlborough, New Zealand in style. A gread pairing for a fennel, citrus and arugula salad.

Natalie's Review

Montes Outer Limits Sauvignon Blanc 2013, Aconcagua Valley, Chile: Grassy great!! Want lawnmower satisfaction ... cut the lawn without cutting the lawn. Love it! OTHER: The 2013 Outer Limits Sauvignon Blanc is sourced from Aconcagua Valley from the coastal and northern zone of Zapallar, seven kilometers from the sea, which provides freshness. It's a powerful wine, with pungent aromas extracted from the skin for some seven months contact, with a mineral feeling, akin to a Sancerre, serious and austere, with gooseberries, tomato leaves, ending again mineral and saline. This is a superb Sauvignon Blanc. The vines were planted in 2006 and the first harvest bottled was 2011. Experiment with iodine-rich seafood, like sea urchin. Uhhhmmm! Drink now-2017. Score - 91 (Luis Gutierrez, erobertparker.com, June 2014) Drink: 2013-2016. 389643 12.50% XD 750 mL $19.95 Score: 90/100. October 25, 2014 Top Rated White Wine. Scrumptious Seafood Wine Full Review
