The best Alexander Valley Chardonnays, such as this, show flamboyant tropical flavors. Capture’s ’09 shows ripe, extravagant pineapple, mango, papaya, nectarine and lime fruit, with a grilled quality baked into a pastry dessert. It’s a big wine framed by fine acidity. The oak appliqué is just about perfect.

Very dry and crisp in acidity, this Sauvignon Blanc, which has never seen oak, shows bright fruit flavors of pink grapefruits, oranges, kiwis and pears, with a streak of minerality. It turns a little green and aggressive on the finish. A clean, stimulating wine for drinking now.

A bone-dry, slightly green Sauvignon Blanc, with lemongrass and gooseberry flavors, boosted with vibrant acidity. Feels elegant and sleek, but won’t appeal to everyone. The grapes for this unoaked wine came from Sonoma and Lake counties.

Tastes sweeter and fruitier than the 2009, which was dry, so if you like orange marmalade, pineapple tart and vanilla cookie sugariness in your Sauvignon Blancs, it’s for you.

This twin county blend is a sophisticated Sauvignon Blanc. It shows the gooseberry tartness that Capture is known for, but not too much, with richer notes of citrus fruits and white flowers dominating. One quibble is that the wine is a little too sweet.
