For those who prefer the ripe, fuller style of Sauvignon Blanc, this wine is just right. It's a great comfort wine, with its soft aftertaste. From the deep south-west of France, it is packed with floral aromas, fresh tropical flavors, and layers of minerals for structure. The Grassa family, owners of Tariquet, are major landowners in the Gascony region, with 2,100 acres under vine.——R.V.(12/31/2006)—— 86
