The 1991 Sauvignon Blanc-Limited Selection, which has been 100% barrel-fermented, is superb. A spicy, vanillin, mineral, and herb-scented nose is followed by deep, rich, beautifully ripe, well-focused flavors, medium body, excellent depth, and a crisp, luscious finish. It is a dead-ringer for a top white Graves. This Sauvignon should be drunk over the next several years.Located in the Santa Ynez valley, this attractive winery has had a mixed track record since its debut vintage in the mid-eighties. However, under the increasingly inspired winemaking helm of Rick Longoria, Gainey has begun to exploit its considerable potential. Vintages in the nineties, including unreleased barrel samples of their 1992s, should make Gainey Vineyard a more noteworthy competitor at the top end of the fine wine market. Significant improvement is noticeable with the winery's Sauvignon Blanc. There are now two offerings. At a time when too many wineries appear to be asleep at the wheel and are content to maintain their status quo, Gainey Vineyard is making major strides in quality.Tel. (805) 688-0558
