Today we are tasting the 2008 Gato Negro Sauvignon Blanc by San Pedro from Valle Central in Chile. This 100% Sauvignon Blanc wine was found for under $6 and comes with a screw cap. San Pedro is noted for their commitment to protecting the environment including using lighter glass in their bottles.
Color
In the glass this is a light yellow typical of Sauvignon Blanc.
Aroma
The most prominent note on the nose is lime. This isn’t showing a lot of aromatic intensity at this moment.
Flavor
The lime continues very strongly on the attack followed by custard apple on the mid-palate. There is also a hint of green apple and lettuce. There is some apricot on the finish. The acid is good and this crisp, citrusy wine will pair well with salad, seafood and chicken dishes.
Rating
We recommend this as a good value wine. It is very food friendly and we rate it 90 points.
