Southern Oregon’s Stephen Reustle continues to burnish his reputation for producing wines that display appropriate varietal character, and this Sauvignon Blanc is so spot-on that it could stand up to cross-examination in court. The nose displays a hint of smoke, honeysuckle and lime, then it shows off flavors of lime, lime zest, minerality and a lick of oyster shell. Pair it with oysters and halibut.
