This particular bottle of Chilean wine was consumed with sushi at Sushi Tango. If you do not wish to read any further, know that I would probably never buy it in a store, but it was fine given Sushi Tango's wine list.
The nose was quite smoky, immediately evoking a comparison to Pouilly-Fumé. Lime was also present, with a whiff of pine, and some generic floral and citrus undertones. The body was disappointingly generic with smoke, mixed citrus, and a bit of apple. The finish was long and tart.
Again, given Sushi Tango's wine list, this was probably the most appropriate choice for the meal, but not a wine I would seek out for sushi. It was too smoky to ordinarily pair with sushi and would have gone much better with a grilled meal.
