A real head-turner, the 2009 Sauvignon Blanc is light straw-colored with oodles of melon and crushed rock in its perfumed set of aromatics. The elegant, fresh, medium-bodied wine hits the palate with authority. With loads of fruit and a striking minerality, it is an interesting and distinctive Sauvignon Blanc made in a Bordeaux style.
