I'm bursting with excitement over this spring release from Dry Creek Vineyard! It's really just one more hit from a spectacularly good Sauvignon Blanc program, but this vintage is absolutely delicious and incredibly complex. The wine is made from several different Sauvignon Blanc clones, including some Musque clone, as well as a bit of Sauvignon Gris. The refreshing white is fermented mainly in steel, but some of it is matured in chestnut, acacia and French oak barrels. The result is a mouthwatering white with a bewildering spectrum of flavors, from lime and tangerine zest to melon, kiwi, pineapple, gooseberry and bitter almond. And priced at only $20 (on sale for as little as $15), it's a brilliant, state-of-the-art California Sauvignon Blanc worth tracking down. (94 points)-Tim Teichgraeber
