Citrusy in style, with aromas of orange, passion fruit and grapefruit. Feels flush and full-bodied, with basic tangerine and navel orange flavors. Fresh on the finish but hollow in terms of depth, with a light fade.——M.S.(3/1/2012)—— 87

The 2010 Sauvignon Blanc Dedicacion offers up aromas of fresh herbs, cut grass, and citrus. This leads to a savory, intense, nicely balanced wine that is a very good value meant for drinking over the next 12-18 months. Importer: Dan Kravitz, Hand Picked Selections, Warrenton, VA; tel.

The 2008 Sauvignon Blanc Dedicacion Personal was barrel-fermented and aged. It offers up an expressive nose of spice box, floral notes, citrus, and fresh herbs. Layered on the palate with plenty of ripe fruit buttressed by vibrant acidity, this lengthy effort will provide much pleasure over the next 2-3 years.

Heavy hayfield aromas are oxidized, and the flavors of almond peel, citrus pith and baked banana do nothing to impress. Not a fresh or healthy wine, if it ever was. Past its prime.——M.S.(8/1/2009)—— 80
