Joe and Tracy's estate is best known for Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, but this is a very stylish Sauvignon Blanc that proves that spending a few extra bucks can sometimes get you a really exceptional wine. It's fermented in stainless steel and matured in neutral oak, leaving it fresh and concentrated with deep lime blossom, lime zest, melon, jasmine and kiwi notes that finish long and juicy. 917 cases produced.

Review: Dutton Estate 2016 Kylie's Cuvee Sauvignon Blanc Russian River Valley ($25)
This lovely Spring white comes from Dutton Ranch's Shop Block and Cohen Vineyard in Green Valley. I love the way the green notes of Sauvignon aren't suppressed or covered up in this wine. There are pretty grass and clover aromas, lemongrass, pink grapefruit and yuzu flavors. Fermented in stainless steel and matured briefly in older, neutral oak barrels, it shows great restraint and purity, but has plenty of flavor. And a few more months in the bottle doesn't seem to have hurt this 2016 white wine one bit. Highly recommended! (92 points)
