In Rueda, sometimes the Sauvignon Blanc and Verdejo taste similar. But in this case there’s no mistaking things. This S.B. is sharp, with teeth to the nose and palate. Classic sweaty gooseberry aromas lead to pure citrus, slate and grass on the tongue. As good as you’re going to find in Spanish Sauvignon. ——M.S.(6/1/2005)—— 90
