This blend of Friulano and Pinot Bianco from Friuli in northeastern Italy offers a nice balance of elements. The wine is fragrant and floral with jasmine, honey and almond yet the texture is creamy and thick. You get both power and elegance here.

Forward and fruity, if a bit clumsy and unrefined. The palate is crisp and fresh, with good apple, pear and herb flavors. And the finish is just as easygoing; it’s very clean and simple, with no heavy oak. —M.S.

Blason’s well-priced Sauvignon is streamlined and lean in the mouth but very pleasantly aromatic on the nose. You’ll get shadings of stone fruit, kiwi and grapefruit and enough citrus zest on the close to cleanse the palate.
