($30): I’ve always considered Grgich Hills Estate one of California’s top producers.  I expect their wines to be distinctive.  Despite their fantastic track record, successive bottlings continue to thrill.  Take this 2012 Sauvignon Blanc.  It’s fabulous — creamy, mineraly, with just the perfect hint of pungency.  It’s what balance is all about.  And, it has a seemingly never-ending finish.  It’s a wow kind of wine.
