Best Buy! Growing consumer interest in Sauvignon Blanc as a standalone bottling has brought additional attention to classy white Bordeaux blends, and here’s one of the best to come out of Washington — even though the wine was made in Maine. Aaron Peet’s history of working with Sauvignon Blanc (58%) and Sémillon (42%) grown in the Yakima Valley goes Platinum here, and the experience offers a beautiful cherry blossom nose with subtle notes of lime and candied orange. The layered palate includes Granny Smith apple, eucalyptus and a twist of Meyer lemon for a mouthwatering, zesty and long finish. Qualifying award: San Francisco Chronicle (gold)
