Another round of variations on the theme of dry white wine.

Longboard Vineyards Russian River Valley Sauvignon Blanc 2006

Citrus and herbs in a high acid profile with citrus peel in the mouth. This Sauvignon is mostly done in stainless with a touch of fermentation and aging in neutral French oak. Winemaker Oded Shakked. P&B in Sonoma 13.2% $24 at the winery Longboard

Artesa Carneros Estate Reserve Chardonnay 2006

This has the bells and whistles to enhance the Chardonnay fruit, with primary and secondary ferments and sur lie aging in French oak. The richness and viscosity are quite apparent and will delight the Chard drinker who likes noticeable oak and butter. Winemaker David Dobson. P&B in Napa 14.3% $25.99 at the winery Artesa
