The barrel-fermented, indigenous yeast-fermented 2003 Sauvignon Blanc Tessa Lee is aged completely in stainless steel after barrel fermentation, and exhibits a lively nose of flinty, crisp fruit including figs and lemon grass notes. It is medium-bodied, dry, and zesty. It should drink well for another 12-18 months. Tel. (707) 525-0570; Fax (707) 525-9463

The powerful 1998 Sauvignon Blanc Martinelli Vineyard tips the scales at 14.4% alcohol. It exhibits ripe, flinty, melony fruit with mango nuances in the background. The zingy underlying acidity keeps this boldly-styled, fleshy Sauvignon Blanc in balance. Drink it over the next year. Tel. (707) 525-0570; fax (707) 525-9463
