Melanto Terrace 2006 Sauvignon Blanc (North Coast)
-
$10
With a greenish tinge to the straw color, this is an ultradry, very crisp wine, especially notable for terrifically clean vibrancy. Blended with 5% Verdelho, it shows strong lemongrass, grapefruit, wildflower, candied ginger, spice and mineral flavors that finish impressively long. Easily one of the best $10 wines of the year.
