The 2010 Tributo Sauvignon Blanc was sourced from Leyda, a region increasingly recognized for this varietal. It too was fermented and raised in stainless steel. A bit fuller in body, denser, and richer, it is a classy Sauvignon that offers outstanding value in a wine meant for drinking over the next 1-2 years. Importer: Buena Cepa Wines, Miami, FL; tel.
