($11, Pasternak Wine Imports): Los Vascos knows how to deliver. Their 2008 Cabernet (previously reviewed) delivers more than the price suggests. And this Sauvignon Blanc is in the same category. It has the distinctive pungency and brightness of Sauvignon Blanc without off putting overly grassy notes. It’s edgy and bracing with good body, striking a middle ground between the electrifying style of New Zealand and the riper California Sauvignon Blanc. The price makes it very easy to recommend. 88 Michael Apstein Aug 16, 2011
