2009 Charity Case Sauvignon Blanc, Napa Valley, CA, $12 (S) – Rating 89

Charity Case Sauvignon Blanc is more lush and full-bodied than many Sauv. Blancs. A lovely round mouth-feel of creamy ripe pineapple, apricot, citrus and melon with hints of vanilla and soft oak. Looking for an alternative the grapefruity, grassy New Zealand style? Charity Case is a delicious choice, at an excellent price, that also supports Napa county charities serving children and families.

2010 Tudal Family Winery Sauvignon Blanc, Napa Valley, CA, $17 (S) – Rating 92

One of the best Sauvignon Blancs we’ve had all season. All Napa Valley fruit, this Tudal Family Winery Sauvignon Blanc is blended with 40% Sauvignon Musqué clone that gives it more depth and a round mouth-feel without adding oak. Crisp yet round flavors of  white peach, stone fruit, Meyer Lemon and apple with a touch of spice blend harmoniously to create a delicious wine.

2009 Bernardus Sauvignon Blanc, Monterey County, CA, $16 – Rating 90

Just delicious! Nice tropical flavors of ripe pineapple and Meyer lemon with vanilla crème. Rich and round mouth feel with a touch of minerality and acidity. Barrel aging adds a hint of the buttery without overpowering.
