In reply to jLillo. Thanks for the recommendation. I have tried this wine--which vintage and varietal did you like? The list was only a sampling for the column which I had to pair down due to space.

I like CM Laurel too–but less than Cipreses. It is all about your taste buds. They are both amazing wines. The acidity blows my mind.

Amayna also does rocking Pinot & Syrah, fyi.

And yeah, start drinking! This is my short list so once you are done, let me know and I can put up another batch. 🙂

Cheers.

Liz:

Another excellent post and I couldn’t agree more with your selection of Casa Marin Cipreses Sauvignon Blanc, though I often prefer her Laurel bottling, if only because it is less agressive. But you’re certainly right- you can’t forget the taste of the Cipreses.

And I certainly agree with Amayna- one of the very best Chardonnays in Chile.

As for the reds you’ve listed, I can see that I have some catching up to do!

Great stuff…couldn’t be more on with Terroir; it’s what makes wine what it is. Nice article. – Andy
