For Chilean Sauvignon Blanc with character, style and panache, Kingston Family’s Cariblanco is a perennial pace-setter. There’s mineral, sea air and tropical fruit aromas to get it going. Next in line is a flush palate of passion fruit and green apple. Finishes long and stylish, with elegance.——M.S.(11/15/2008)—— 90
