Chateau St. Jean has a long history with Sauvignon Blanc, and this affordable wine shows their mastery of the variety. It’s dry and crisply balanced, with delicious flavors of lemons, limes, pineapples and honeysuckle that are brightened with crisp acidity. A touch of Viognier, oak and lees adds complexities that make this a great bargain. ——S.H.(11/15/2008)—— 88
