($18): Dave Stare, who founded Dry Creek Vineyard, always made superb Sauvignon Blanc.  Though he is no longer making the wines, the tradition continues.  For the first time, they are including two clones, estate grown Sauvignon Gris and Sauvignon Musqué, with Sauvignon Blanc.  The Musqué clone adds an appealing floral character, as the name suggests.  Overall, the wine is creamy and fresh, with a pleasing pungency of Sauvignon Blanc that tickles the palate instead of assaulting it.
