A light in color, tropical, pineapple- and coconut-infused Sauvignon Blanc that’s balanced in flavor and finish and would be truly delicious at the end of a hot day. Fermented in stainless steel, it retains plenty of acid to pair with a range of spicy foods.——V.B.(7/1/2011)—— 89

A light colored, lightly treading Sauvignon Blanc from vineyards around California, made by Lake County's Guenoc, cool-fermented in stainless steel and ready to drink now. Refreshing pear and vanilla flavors and lively acidity make it a good choice for summer drinking.——V.B.(7/1/2011)—— 87

Very light in color and, alas, pleasing flavors, this 100% Sauvignon Blanc from the Langtry Estate’s organically farmed Lillie VIneyard begins with guava and coconut, very tropical, but gives in too easily to a not quite ideal level of sweetness and a finish that can only be described, unhappily, as bitter. ——V.B.(3/1/2011)—— 84
