Simone 2008 Special Reserve Sauvignon Blanc (Maule Valley)

Country: Chile / Maule Valley
Variety: Sauvignon Blanc
Winery: Simone / Special Reserve

Elements of this thick, ripe, almost late-harvest SB succeed. The palate is creamy and layered, and it works that angle to its advantage. By the same token, it’s flat and won’t last for much longer, and the finish is pithy and borderline cloying. Drink right away.
