Avennia, Sauvignon Blanc, Oliane, Yakima Valley 2022

There's nothing grassy or tropical here, just a noseful of Golden Delicious apple, orange blossoms and filberts. The wine's mouthfeel is soft and smooth, with ripe pear and fresh-grated ginger flavors. Oliane will make you want to pour a second glass and curl up with a good paperback at the beach. — Michael Alberty
