5 This could be called the signature white for Barnard Griffin, for it always delivers astonishing flavor for the modest price. A small percentage of Semillon is in the blend, but the sappy, spicy, penetrating herbaceousness of Sauvignon Blanc is showcased, not disguised. Done in a Sancerre-like style, under 13% alcohol, this is a gorgeous food wine, but you may just want to sip on it all by itself.——P.G.(2/1/2011)—— 91
