2010 Capture Sauvignon Blanc from Denis and May-Britt Malbec

Last year, Capture expanded their single Sauvignon Blanc offering from the 2008 vintage to include two 2009 vintage wines - Tradition, produced from three sites of different makeup in Lake and Sonoma Counties, and Les Pionniers, sourced only from hillside properties in Sonoma. The winemaking team of Denis and May-Britt Malbec create wines that generate significant buzz - If you need to allocate your SB, then you are really onto something. 

In 2010, I tasted the 2009 vintage wine in early July and thought they were very solid examples of a variety that more and more is gaining credibility among consumers and critics alike. With Desante, Lail, and Grey Stack producing exceptional bottlings it makes me wonder if we are seeing a white wine revolution.

I tasted the new 2010 vintage earlier this week. Both received very solid reviews from dougwilder - the purely domestic wine blog. Last year the winery sold out of them rapidly. If you wish to purchase them, get on the list at www.capturewines.com
