Wente Louis Mel Sauvignon Blanc 2011

Wente remains remarkably adept at making very good wines in big volumes at fair prices. This is a textbook example – a crisp, layered and complex SB that’s as floral as spring, generous in acidity and lemony on the finish. Pair with shellfish, chicken or goat cheese on crackers. Special designation: Best Buy. Score – 90. (Virginie Boone, Wine Enthusiast, July 2013)
