Don’t hate the rating…. Hate the reality… A wonderful example of a winemaker who threw out price and built a wine that made it 25 years. Herbaceous and medium bodied… — 2 years ago

EQ Coastal Sauvignon Blanc 2019

On a hot almost-summer night this wine hits the spot! ☀️

It’s a Sauvignon Blanc from the Valle de Casablanca D.O. in Chile 🇨🇱 where the vines from which it hails receive cooling influences from the Pacific Ocean breezes, lending balance and preserving acidity. 🌊

It’s no wonder this wine is labeled EQ as in Equilibrio (the Spanish word for balance), because it offers a wonderful balance of ripe tropical fruit aromas and flavors with vibrant acidity and notable minerality. 🍍 🥭

The aromas and flavors are fresh, albeit ripe, generally tropical with passion fruit, guava, mango, underripe pineapple, also green apple, gooseberry, freshly cut grass, and wet slate.

It’s a perfect patio pairing and fun to explore the beauty of new world Sauvignon Blanc from this region.

It’s also a great value at $12.99. 👏👏👏👏👏

Matetic Vineyards, E.Q., Coastal Sauvignon Blanc, D.O. Valle de Casablanca, Viñedo Valle Hermoso, Chile. Vintage 2019. ABV 13.5%.

Cheers !!

Root:1

[The Original Ungrafted] Colchagua Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

88 Dark purple. Powerful aromas of dark berry preserves and licorice, with a smoky overtone. Lush and expansive, offering hefty black and blue fruit flavors. This seamless cabernet packs a lot of fruit for the money and finishes with good energy and cling. May 2012, "Cabernet Sauvignon" Cabernet Sauvignon 2010 88 BEST BUY! Very good priced Cab with fresh herb, black cherry, blackberry and earthy aromas. The palate is healthy and stands up to scrutiny, which the flavors of cassis, berry, chocolate and pepper are correct and more than pleasant. Long and lasting on the finish. The best Root:1 Cab to date. February 2011, "Cabernet Sauvignon" Cabernet Sauvignon 2008 Consumer Reports Root: 1 Cabernet Sauvignon is selected as Best Buy download December 2010, "Cabernet Sauvignon" Cabernet Sauvignon 2008 88 Ruby-red. Spicy red berry and cherry aromas are complemented by mint, licorice and black cardamom. A fresh, focused midweight, offering sweet raspberry and cherry flavors and good tangy snap. Very lively; the finish is focused, brisk and nicely persistent. March 2010, "Cabernet Sauvignon" Cabernet Sauvignon 2008 Living Wine for the taking -- Don't arrive to a Christmas party empty-handed, bring a fabulous wine such as Root:1 Cabernet Sauvignon. Root:1 is a "crowd-pleaser for both novice and seasoned red wine enthusiasts" and a very good value for the price." December 2009, "Cabernet Sauvignon" Cabernet Sauvignon 2008 — 11 years ago

Classic Series Colchagua Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2014

Not sure why this is rated relatively low, as the 2014 vintage was exceptional (and ranked in the top 50 of Wine Spectator’s Best of 2016 list). Big aromas of cigar box and hard candy, mouth-watering tastes of strawberry jam, cedar and caramel... and most astonishingly, it retails for $15. Get some - now! — 6 years ago
