2009 Casillero del Diablo Sauvignon Blanc, Central Valley (750ml)

Greenish straw. Lively, mineral-laced aromas of lime, lemongrass and peppery herbs. Light-bodied and refreshing, offering tangy citrus flavors and a hint of bitter quinine. The finish is a bit abrupt but this shows good energy and varietal character for the price.

87 points - Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar (Mar/Apr 10)
