6 – 750 ml bottles each – 36 bottles total
Cloudy Bay Sauvignon Blanc 2008
This wine is light and tart, with a zip to the acidity that carries the vivid, celery-tinged gooseberry and lime flavors, lingering impressively on the sharply focused finish. WS 92
Bevan Cellars Kick Ranch Sauvignon Blanc 2009
This offering reveals gorgeous aromas and flavors of pineapples, honeyed grapefruit and wet rocks. This medium-bodied, beautifully textured, intense, elegant Sauvignon Blanc appears to have the complexity of a top Chardonnay, but it never loses its Sauvignon character. RP 90
Spottswoode Sauvignon Blanc 2009
This wine represents the highest expression of this varietal—a blend of Sauvignon Blanc, Sauvignon Musque, and Semillon. Due to its very limited production, this wine is offered only to mailing list customers and to select restaurants around the country.
Peter Michael L’ Apres Midi Knights Valley Sauvignon Blanc 2009
Aromatic, complex and ultimately extremely refreshing, this white delivers details of clove, mineral, tangerine zest, lemon curd and mango that weave together a sophisticated profile of flavors. A terrific acidity clarifies the flavors and finishes with a juicy punch. WS 93
Domaine Merlin-Cherrier Sancerre 2008
This wine possesses an impressive concentration of lime, grapefruit, under-ripe apricot, and white currant; bracing brightness and zest; as well as lasting saline and chalky traces.
Araujo Sauvignon Blanc 2010
This wine has pure aromas of pineapple, grapefruit peel, lime blossom, lichee and wild herbs. It is rich and savory, with a salty minerality melding well with a musky white peach flavor. More citrus than tropical in style, and almost sake-like in its umami texture, it finishes with insidious minerality and excellent persistence. Stephen Tanzer IWC 93.
