WTN: Old, reliable Kenwood does it again with their SB

2005 Kenwood, Sauvignon Blanc, Sonoma County, California, $13, 144,000 cases. Never failing to please, this vintage is no exception. Loads of melons, citrus zest and grassy notes intermingle on the nose and then expand on the palate. Generous and balanced; 88/89.

A perenial favorite with us, too. A note to anyone else looking on: avoid the Reserve bottling--too much oak--the regular un-reserve is the one to get.
