The 2006 Sauvignon Blanc reveals glassy, melony-like characteristics in a distinctive, Loire Valley style. In the mouth, there is an additional tropical fruit component. Drink this tasty, dry Sauvignon over the next 12 months. Importer: Jane Delaney, The Ravensvale Group, Greenwich, CT; tel. (800) 580-0052

The humorous caricatures on the Jinks Creek labels belie the serious juice inside. The Sauvignon Blanc exhibits a crisp, melony, slightly herbal, richly fruity personality. Medium-bodied, dry, fragrant, and tasty, it will be immensely flexible with food. Importer: Jane Delaney, The Ravensvale Group, Greenwich, CT; tel. (800) 580-0052

Plenty of cantaloupe, lime and just a touch of vegetal sweat to the nose. Runs straight down the middle in that it offers melon and citrus flavors, easy acidity and good minerality. A smooth drink that aims to please. Imported by The Ravensvale Group.——W.E.(7/1/2005)—— 87

More White Wine than Sauvignon, there’s lightweight yellow fruit at its core, dressed up with confectioner’s sugar and flour. Couple that with pineapple and passion fruit aromas on the nose, and meat-and-sugar flavors on the close, and you’ve just got a good but confused, varietally vague wine.——D.T.(5/1/2004)—— 84
