Porcupine Ridge, Western Cape (South Africa) Sauvignon Blanc 2008

($9, Vineyard Brands): This vibrant, pleasantly pungent Sauvignon Blanc is a terrific value.  Simple and direct, it delivers a clear–but not aggressive–herbaceous bite characteristic of Sauvignon Blanc.  If there’s a more enjoyable $9 Sauvignon Blanc on the market, I’ve yet to find it. 87 Michael Apstein Feb 3, 2009
