1998 Bernardus
Monterey County Sauvignon Blanc
Score: 88.0
"A gorgeous wine-multi-faceted pear, fig and vanilla, tart acidity, creamy texture and long lemony finish with hints of oak spice. Best with white sauces, turkey with gravy, grilled portabello mushrooms etc."

Clos du Val Ariadne
Napa Valley A blend of 76% Semillon and 24% Sauvignon Blanc

1997 Robert Mondavi
Stags Leap District Napa Valley Sauvignon Blanc Unfiltered
Score: 85.0
"Emphatically varietal, this tart teaser has bright citrusy fruit with a dusting of dried herb flavors. Too tart for an aperitif, it a good fit with shellfish."

1997 Robert Mondavi Fume Blanc
Napa Valley [Sauvignon Blanc] Unfiltered
Score: 86.0
"Dry, showing herbal edges and a core of muted melon. Stylish though not very complex, this medium-bodied white is round on the mid-palate, tart and citrusy in the finish. Serve with cheese, fish or poultry."

Kendall-Jackson Vintners Reserve
California Sauvignon Blanc
Score: 88.0
"Intensely fruity, very reminiscent of a good Viognier-peach, apricot, lime; tart, yet silky texture and a rich mouthfeel. Atypical, but very flavorful. Try it with chow mein, shrimp with wild rice, or tandoori chicken."
|
1997 Grigich Hills
Napa Valley [Sauvignon Blanc] Fume Blanc
Score: 93.0
"A superb Sauvignon Blanc with complex layers of spice and herbaceous citrusy fruit. Crisp and intense, this is a wine destined for seafood and oily Asian dishes like cashew chicken."
|
1998 Chateau Souverain
Alexander Valley Sauvignon Blanc
Score: 90.0
"While dominated by vanilla and sage, this dry, creamy wine also displays fruit reminiscent of crenshaw melon. Everything that went into the nose and flavors is drawn out through a finish that lingers for minutes."
