Sometimes you just need a tasty, inexpensive Sauvignon Blanc to wash down almost anything, and here you go. It’s dryish and zesty in acidity, with white currant, green grass and tropical fruit flavors that are rich enough to accompany grilled salmon. Grows more interesting as you sip. ——S.H.(12/1/2011)—— 87

For those who like their Sauvignons dry, tart and a little aggressive. Mainly from Dry Creek Valley, the wine has strong lemongrass and grapefruit flavors, with riper notes of figs. The low alcohol and crisp acidity make it especially drinkable. ——S.H.(12/15/2006)—— 85
