Delicious floral, pear and citrus flavors finish with focus and elegance. Nicely balanced; drinkable now.

Filled with the simple flavors of sun-drenched green grapes, this is a straight-on white, its pointed acidity keeping the flavors along a clean line. Easy as an aperitif or with light fish.

…is a lush, melony, honeyed, full-bodied Sauvignon with considerable appeal. Broad, expansive, rich, and leesy…

offers a floral, honey, melony-scented nose, medium body, excellent flavor concentration, and a dry, rich finish.

Fresh and spicy, a simple, fruity wine with bright, citrusy flavors that last and last on the lively finish.

A fresh, spicy, fruity white with bright, citrusy flavors that last and last on the lively finish.

The light herbal and citrus aromas of this medium-bodied wine lead to light grassy, herbal, grapefruity flavors. A good backing of acidity keeps it lively.

Fresh, lively and brimming over with fruit flavor, from lemon to lime to peach. The appearance is light gold, the aromas are very immediate and effusive, the texture tangy and the finish light with a hint of sweetness.

The 2013 Sauvignon Blanc Avant is soft, aromatically expressive and well suited to drinking over the next year or two, while the melon, pear and floral notes retain their brightness.

A nice, bright and savory Sauvignon Blanc, rich in fruit but dry on the finish. Shows waves of Meyer lemon, pineapple, kiwi, honeysuckle and vanilla flavors, accented with a touch of oak. Enjoyable on its own or with little appetizers.

Clean, controlled and confidently focused on lightly grassy, green-melon fruit from front to back, this well-made, medium-full-bodied Sauvignon steers down the center of the varietal road without getting too pungent, too heavy or too stiff. It is, in short, a balanced and eminently likeable wine that is approachable now, but one whose stamina should hold it in good stead for several years.

A really good job from K-J. For 11 bucks you get a bone-dry, crisp white wine, filled with savory citrus, fig, vanilla and white pepper flavors. This versatile wine will go with just about anything.

Ripe, rich, spicy flavors of peach and nectarine have great focus and intensity, with juicy citrus notes and a lingering finish.

A remarkable value, the 2006 Sauvignon Blanc Vintner's Reserve, which is essentially 95% Sauvignon and the rest Semillon and Sauvignon Musqué. Almost all of this is fermented in stainless steel, and the wine offers the classic melony, fig, and lemon grass of Sauvignon. It is dry, medium-bodied, and aromatic.

Well-defined, mildly melony fruit, a light kiss of fresh grass and a smooth palatal feel make this easy-drinking Sauvignon a most friendly wine, and, if hardly among the more expressive of this month's contenders, it is a dyed-in-the-wool bargain and comes with a very real bonus of wide availability.

Ripe red apple, grapefruit, melon, grassy aromas. Round, fresh palate with a touch of sweetness. Grapefruit, kiwi, baked apple, green melon skin flavours with a slightly buttery finish.

Clean flavors of lychee nut balance a fresh, mineral acidity, placing this wine with Sole Veronique

Also delicious, is the even less expensive 2002 Vintner's Reserve Sauvignon Blanc. A crisp, elegant, fresh white, it reveals classic notes of melons, figs and dried herbs in a light-bodied, fruit-driven style.

The dry, crisp, fresh, light-bodied 2001 Sauvignon Blanc Vintner's Reserve exhibits notions of citrus, lanolin, honey suckle and melon.

This has citrus, apricot and honey flavors brightened with crisp acidity. It turns a little sweet on the finish, but it's a lovely wine that should be versatile with a huge range of food.

Ripe and juicy, with layers of peach, pear, citrus, butter and light coconut-toasty oak flavors.

Hugely successful...a remarkable wine for the price. Notes of lemon custard, tropical fruits, honeysuckle, and citrus combine in this fruit-driven, medium-bodied, cleanly made effort. The wood influence is kept in the background for fear of compromising the wine's delicious fruit characteristics.

It is a medium to full-bodied, juicy, tropical fruit-dominated effort with nicely integrated toasty oak, decent acidity, and fine purity and balance.

The 1998 reveals high acidity, a nice lemony, creamy texture, medium body, and a clipped but satisfying finish. It should drink well for 2-3 years.

Big, with juicy fruit aromas- apple and pear predominating. Citrus and apple flavors on the medium-weight palate. Mild apple and toast on the lengthy finish, which feels a touch heavy…
