The 2006 Fume Blanc is an outstanding example of Sauvignon, with notes of mineral, melon, white citrus, grapefruit, and honey. The finish is long, and the wine has outstanding purity. Most of the vineyards at Grgich Hills are now biodynamically farmed, and perhaps that shows in the extra minerality and intensity some of these cuvees possess.Tel. (800) 532-3057; Fax (707) 963-8725

Grgich Hills did a good job making this clean and with a kiss of oak, but the feline scent and taste overpower the more pleasant kiwis and grapefruit.——S.H.(12/1/2007)—— 83
