We were a bit surprised to pull a bottle of this shipment to find it was 2011 when we were expecting 2010 but, thankfully, we're delighted with the result. It's every bit as good as the '10 with tangy, grapefruit combining with slightly spicey, grassy notes. It's smooth, refreshing and delicious and the move to 2011 has just intensified these qualities. Really great Chilean Sauv Blanc that delivers way above its price tag.
