This well-made dry white wine avoids the extremes that sometimes make sauvignon blanc more of a test of character than a pleasure. It's well-rounded and smoothed out with a judicious use of oak that doesn't blunt its flavors of lime, pear, figs and herbs. A small addition of semillon adds creamy texture.
