title: Matanzas Creek 2006 Sauvignon Blanc (Sonoma County)
description: This is one of the more New Zealand-like Sauvignon Blancs out there, and that's a compliment. The wine is thoroughly dry and very crisp in acidity, with a grassy, lemony, minerally profile that makes it savory. Approximately one-fifth was barrel fermented, adding just the right touch of cream and smoke.
variety: Sauvignon Blanc
