A very bracing style, with nervy chalk, lime and fleur de sel notes that ripple through the flinty finish. Drink now. 2,020 cases made.??–JM??Region: Chile / Aconcagua / Casablanca Valley Select to Add

Quelat is Ventisquero’s highest-reaching SB, but it seems narrow and ultra tight, with match stick on the nose and not a ton of fruit. As it unwinds, more aromas and flavors come out; but always is it slightly vegetal. Alongside that dominant “green” character, look for pineapple and plenty of acidity.——M.S.(3/1/2009)—— 85
