People might shy away from a $28 domestic Sauvignon Blanc, but keep in mind there is more to this wine than just fermentation in a tank … 20% of this fruit is dried, naturally, which adds a little something more to this wine. The nose is apricot, peach, pineapple and candied lemon peel; the palate mixes the typical with the atypical: dried and candied pineapple along with lemon and hints of grapefruit. Wine was also aged 6-9 months in neutral oak barrels for added complexity. Price: $27.95 – Rating: *** ½+
