Classic, intensely herbaceous and grassy, this is fine cool-climate Sauvignon Blanc. It keeps some restraint as the fresh grapefruit flavors soften out midpalate. The final flavor, though, is full-on asparagus and green fruits.

$16
A deliciously light, fresh rosé, its crisp raspberry flavors enhanced by acidity. The finish is a full burst of fruit salad.

Domaine des Corbillières 2006 Cabernet Cabernet Franc (Touraine)

$16
This spicy, smoky wine reveals dark plum and dried raisin flavors along with a core of tannin, which comes both from the fruit and wood. It moves towards leanness, certainly on second sip, but it keeps a fresh, perfumed character right through.
