Sauvignon Blanc from the Rhône? Why not? This wine features an intriguing blend of ripe, honeyed fruit with grassy, peppery, underripe qualities. Lean and minerally, with a fast-fading finish. 1 Note

Bone dry and high in acidity, with lemon, lime and mineral flavors and hints of thyme and white pepper. Very nice and likeable, a sommelier’s wine for pairing with a wide variety of food at an inexpensive price. 1 Note

Two years in a row this has been a subpar wine. Mealy nectarine aromas are barely adequate, while the palate is sour and finishes bitter. Not a foul experience, but unexciting and not really worth a look. 1 Note

White fruit and floral aromas give it a pleasant but generic nose, while the fleshy palate delivers green fruit and bitter citrus flavors. There’s not a lot of pleasantries or upside to the wine, but for straightforward citrus and apple cider it makes the grade. 1 Note

Not a lot to latch onto here. The aromas are sharp and sweaty, while the palate feel is more dull than it should be, while flavors of melon and pickled fruits are briney. 1 Note

Light citrus, green herb and nettle aromas are just what you’d expect from Leyda SB, and the palate has a plump, easy feel along with fresh flavors of melon, tangerine and nectarine. More round than linear, with good length and clarity. 1 Note

So lucid it looks almost like water. The nose is light and airy, too, with flower blossom and apple aromas but not a lot more. Sharp in the mouth, with prickly green apple, lemongrass and lychee flavors. Narrow on the finish. Imported by Ecovalley Quality Wine Group and National Refrescos Import Company, LLC. 1 Note

Gooseberry, citrus and minerals comprise the nose and the palate of this lively, approachable white. Restrained and elegant, the wine features a crisp minerality beneath the fruit to give it poise. A refreshing warm weather choice. 1 Note

Aromas of pithy citrus and pineapple are decent but unrefined, while flavors of tangerine and pineapple are tropical, zesty and what they are. This is nothing more than a fresh, simple, citrusy white to sip on the patio. Anything beyond that would be stretching it. 1 Note

Here’s a fine Sauvignon Blanc that shows the variety’s crisp personality at a good price. It’s dry and nicely tart, with mouthwatering flavors of pink grapefruit, lime, kiwi and melon. 1 Note
