This is an excellent value from Shoofly. The 2004 Buzz Cut, a blend of Verdelho, Viognier, Sauvignon Blanc, and Riesling, is a crisp, zippy white boasting aromas of freshly mowed hay, apple skins, under ripe oranges, and grapefruits. This fruity, medium-bodied, refreshing, modern-styled dry white should be consumed over the next year. Importer: Gavin Speight, Old Bridge Cellars, Napa, CA; tel. (707) 258-9552

Has golden aromas and flavors—think golden apples and raisins. It’s not very lively in the mouth, but is a fine, everyday white. A blend of Verdelho, Viognier, Sauvignon and Riesling. ——D.T.(10/1/2006)—— 84
