Intense initial aromas out of the glass: big pyrazine greenness, lemon peel, tart red grapefruit and lime. There's also wet straw, yeast, lees and grassy notes here, alongside the fruit and green pepper.
Mouthfeel is dry, medium plus bodied with high acidity.
Flavors validate the nose. This one is all citrus, pyrazine and yeasty notes, with a finish of chalk and lemongrass. Lots going on here.

Retail $20. Big ass bottle. Under screw cap. I first tasted this wine as part of a Master of the World tasting kit and I really liked it then. I might like it better know if for no other reason than there is a lot more of it! Similar notes.
Spicy aromatics of chives, leeks and mint over top of white cherry and lime, some white pepper and honeysuckle. The palate is crisp and floral with a punchy and zesty appeal and green apple, kiwi and lime fruit. Crisp, flinty, sea salty, this has a light and salad-friendly appeal, but shows solid complexity as well.

Retail $20. Master the World tasting Kit 254C. I have had a few wines now from this prominent Chilean producer and on the whole, I have been impressed. This is another vote in the "yes!" column. A brilliant, clear light straw colored wine with green highlights, this is rather majestic in the glass. A similar fruit profile that I have seen in Chilean SB: citrus (grapefruit), tree (green apple), tree (peach), and tropical (papaya) fruit, but this wine seems to be a notch above its brethren with an intense richness on the nose. The palate is dry, with high levels of tartness and complexity, all leading to a lengthy finish. Listen, you could do a whole lot worse at this price point, but why on earth would you? Excellent.
