The 2010 Sauvignon Blanc Limited Selection was also fermented and raised in stainless steel. Made from Leyda fruit, it was produced from significantly lower yields than the Classic Series cuvee which may account for its impressive concentration and laser-like focus. Notions of thyme, stony minerals, spring flowers, and gooseberry lead to a racy, lively, lengthy Sauvignon. It is an outstanding value meant for drinking over the next 12-18 months. Aurelio Montes has a well-earned reputation as one of Chile’s foremost vignerons. The Montes wines offer great value at the lower end of the spectrum and set the bar for what can be achieved in Chile at the higher end.Importer: TGIC Imports, Woodland Hills, CA; www.tgicimports.com
