This wine would compare favorably with the least expensive Sauv Blancs from New Zealand or Chile. It avoids the unripe pea vine or asparagus flavors that can afflict those wines, and brings light, fresh, sweetly grassy flavors to the palate. A little unfocused, but pleasurable and crisp, this is a good all-purpose seafood wine. ——P.G.(12/31/2010)—— 85
