點擊次數(shù)：8614

The white wines include the 2010 Amplus Sauvignon Blanc sourced from Leyda and fermented and raised in stainless steel. Stony minerals, sage, thyme, gooseberry, and spring flowers inform the nose of a crisp, nervy, intensely flavored wine that will provide enjoyment over the next 12-18 months. Santa Ema has been a reliable source of value priced wines for a number of years. Importer: TGIC Importers, Woodland Hills, CA; www.tgicimporters.com

Clean yet dilute on the bouquet, with touches of lime and grassiness. The palate, however, is kind of heavy and honeyed, a direct reflection of its warm Maipo roots. Tastes sweet and creamy but without much zesty fruit. Maybe a little too soft and candied, but still pretty good. ——M.S.(6/1/2011)—— 85

Opens with a mix of minerality, citrus and powdery white fruit scents. The palate packs tang and zest, while the flavors of green apple and lemon are lean, crisp and citric through the finish. Fresh but a little sharp and monotone.——M.S.(5/1/2010)—— 86

Santa Ema makes reliably excellent wines at fair prices from the bottom to the top of its portfolio.Importer: TGIC Imports, Woodland Hills, CA; Tel: (800) 924-0030
