The powerful 1998 Sauvignon Blanc Martinelli Vineyard tips the scales at 14.4% alcohol. It exhibits ripe, flinty, melony fruit with mango nuances in the background. The zingy underlying acidity keeps this boldly-styled, fleshy Sauvignon Blanc in balance. Drink it over the next year. Tel. (707) 525-0570; fax (707) 525-9463
