Sauvignon Blanc, Fiddlehead Cellars, Happy Canyon, Santa Ynez Valley, 2004

Good luck in finding a better American sauvignon blanc. Richly flavored, but with a vibrant zesty  fruity-ness combined with tart grapefruit and an underlying creamy texture. Delicious. Lively enough for an aperitif, but with more than enough complexity and character to stand up to a serious meal. Kathy Joseph continues to make lovely wines across the board.
