A good value, the 2001 Sauvignon Blanc is a fresh, aromatic wine with a lush personality. Tangy, balanced, and rich, it coats the palate with candied citrus fruit flavors. Readers should know, however, that the winery has had a high incidence of corked wines with this bottling. Drink it over the next 18 months. Tel. (503) 538-6931
