The more serious 2007 Sauvignon Blanc sees 15% barrel fermentation as well as plenty of lees aging. It possesses more texture, wood, and spice as well as a slightly smokier, more honeyed melon character, but for a 33% higher price, is it that much better? Both wines need to be consumed over the next year. Tel. (707) 255-0658; Fax (707) 255-0656
