Lots going on for the price in this dry, clean Sauvignon Blanc. It has rich flavors of tart citrus fruits, minerals and white flowers. A very pleasant and versatile white wine. ——S.H.(4/1/2011)—— 88

Another beauty that would work exquisitely with Ahi burgers is the 2007 Sauvignon Blanc. It offers plenty of fig, flint, honeyed grapefruit, and lemon zest characteristics in a medium-bodied, crisp personality. Enjoy it over the next year. Joel Gott, the brilliant restaurateur (think of Taylor’s Refresher in St. Helena as well as San Francisco ... America’s best hamburgers and Ahi burgers), also produces wines under the capable guidance of his talented winemaker/wife, Sarah. Tel. (707) 963-3365
