The light straw-colored 2008 Amplus Sauvignon Blanc from cool-climate Leyda offers an attractive nose of fresh cut grass, gooseberry, and citrus. On the palate it has a sophisticated personality marked by lively acidity, a viscous texture, good depth, and a lengthy, fruit-filled finish. Drink it over the next 2-3 years. Santa Ema makes reliably excellent wines at fair prices from the bottom to the top of its portfolio.Importer: TGIC Imports, Woodland Hills, CA; Tel: (800) 924-0030
