along with herbal and hay accents on the
lingering finish. Ready to drink now.
(Robyn's Picks, 08/04)
($16). Intensely aromatic
and flavorful, featuring gooseberry, lime
and tropical notes. Juicy acidity. Focused
finish. Ready to drink now. (Weekend Wine

($12). All citrusy and sharp, with grapefruit,
lime and citrus zest picking up a kick
of pepper on the fresh finish. Ready to
drink now. (Bargain Wine 12/07)
($10). So easy to like, with bright,
aromatic citrus and herbal notes that
pick up lush melon through the fresh
finish. Ready to drink now. (Wine Skinny

not a lot of fruit. Didn't care for
it. (Robyn's Picks 07/07)

grapefruit aromas and flavors finish long
and fresh. Ready to drink now. (Robyn's

elements are balanced on a medium-bodied
frame in this Chilean Sauvignon Blanc.
Finishes clean and juicy. Ready to drink
now. (Bargain Wines, 12/02)
($8). Fresh, aromatic bouquet
leads to grassy and citrus flavors. Light
to medium bodied. Not a lot of complexity
but easy to drink. Ready to drink now.

texture includes ripe melon, concentrated
citrus, and dried grass and herbal notes.
Lovely mineral finish keeps things crisp
and refreshing. Ready to drink now. (Bargain
