A terrific deal in Mendocino Sauvignon Blanc, subdued in the nose at first, this wine opens up into easy-drinking vanilla and lemon flavors, its stainless-steel fermentation keeping it refreshing and light and a go-to aperitif; its depth keeps it fresh and bright over time. An ideal SB to go with a light dinner. ——V.B.(11/1/2011)—— 88

Extremely light in citrusy flavor, leaving a palate impression of alcohol, acidity and heat. There’s a taste of lemons on the finish.——S.H.(12/1/2004)—— 83

Fulfills the basic requirements of citrusy, grassy fruit, crisp, tart acids, a clean mouthfeel and a bone-dry finish, but has thinned-down flavors.——S.H.(10/1/2003)—— 84
