Cono Sur, Casablanca Valley (Chile) Sauvignon Blanc “Visión” 2010

($15, Vineyard Brands):  With its proximity to the Pacific Ocean, Chile’s Casablanca Valley has become a good site for white wine varieties that prefer cooler weather.  This single vineyard, Loma Roja, Sauvignon Blanc is very focused with herbal notes. Not overdone, nor with shrieking acidity, it maintains a nice edginess without being aggressive. 88 Michael Apstein Mar 15, 2011
