The 2007 Sauvignon Blanc from the cool-climate Leyda Valley, a region that appears ideally suited for this grape. Made in an attractive Loire Valley style, this medium straw-colored wine exhibits a grassy, herbal, citrus and apple-scented bouquet. Light- to medium-bodied with a crisp, refreshing feel on the palate, this nicely balanced wine has good depth and a pure, vibrant finish. Drink it over the next 12 to18 months. Arboleda manages to produce a large quantity of wine while maintaining a high level of quality at friendly prices.Importer: Frederick Wildman & Sons, New York, NY; tel. (212) 355-0700

An oily and thick style of SB. It captures Leyda’s coastal climate almost too much, resulting in green, lightly vegetal aromas and flavors. There’s some pickle and bell pepper, and it seems underdeveloped throughout.——M.S.(3/1/2008)—— 84
