I tasted this wine with a range of other Sauvignon Blancs, all of which cost far more, and it had nothing to be ashamed of. Shows a nice balance of crisp acids and slight oak with well-ripened flavors of citrus fruits, melons and figs. A splash of Semillon adds a nutty complexity. At this price, from this appellation, it’s a steal. Shouldn’t be too hard to find, with 5,600 cases produced.——S.H.(11/15/2004)—— 86
