The 2010 growing season was long and unseasonably cool, resulting in an unusually late harvest. We hand-pick our Sauvignon Blanc grapes at three ripeness levels to retain as much acidity as possible, and to achieve a layered flavor profile including citrus and tropical fruit flavors. Stainless steel fermented, approximately 5% spends 4 months in neutral French oak barrels lending a creaminess to the palate and a long finish balanced against bright acidity and fresh fruit flavors. 100% Sauvignon Blanc. -Peju Winemaker Sara Fowler

This wine exhibits brilliant hues of light yellow speared by vibrant streaks of green. Aromas of exotic grapefruit and green lime dominate with hints of caper, fennel and lemon zest. Flavors follow with tremendous ruby grapefruit, citrus, kiwi and guava through a crisp finish. This Sauvignon Blanc complements a wide variety of foods from mild cheeses and fish to boldly flavored Asian dishes. It’s also a great sipper as an aperitif.

Thank you @AndyA3 for this tasty treat! Didier Dagueneau at its best: a sultry Sauvignon Blanc with great minerality and seriously bright acidity.

Continue to run into "can't resist" wine deals in restaurants all the time now. This time I found a Didier Dagueneau at 50% off on the Finders Keepers list at Zibbibo in Palo Alto. This sauv blanc was dark yellow and full bodied like a chardonnay, but with all the fruit characteristics of a typical Loire sauvignon blanc. Smooth, yet thick mouth feel, citrus notes on the finish.

Spy Valley packs an awesome punch with big citrus, and tropical fruit. Aromas include an array of citrus such as orange and grapefruit, the latter being dominant, and a big grapefruit flavor that dissipates into mango and perhaps some star fruit. Wonderful acidity, structure, and balance makes this Sauv Blanc well-rounded. We paired this wine with lemon peppered cat fish, and it couldn’t have been better. Wine Spectator gave it 91 points and it’s a steal at $14. Highly Recommended.

This is an amazing value.  I think I paid $13 at Costco of all places.  They only had three 2008 left, so I bought them all.  If you like grapefruits and oranges with a dry, crisp finish, this is your wine.

I am not too interested in coporate run wineries, but after my parents' pleasant visit to Markham, I decided to pick up this wine on sale. Glad I did! It paired perfectly with the broiled salmon and tomato and avocado salsa. The wine's well balanced minerality, fruit, dryness, and tartness cut through the rich salmon and avocado and blended in flavor with the acidity of the tomatoes and lemon juice. It was a great wine to pair with food!

A complex full-bodied wine with ripe with herbaceous and gunflint aromas. Concentrated green fruit and citrus flavors, crisp acidity – a long mineral finish.
