The 2013 Cuatro Rayas Sauvignon is slightly reductive and feels a bit sweaty with faint herbal aromas. The palate is light, with pungent acidity and some length. Drink now. Agricola Castellana is the cooperative from La Seca, one of the main wine-producing villages in Rueda, but has members from 30 different villages within the appellation, who cultivate a total of 2,100 hectares of vineyards. Their Cuatro Rayas brand is known for delivering good quality at very competitive prices. They produce a whopping 17 million bottles of wine per year. Quite light wines in 2013.

The 2011 Cuatro Rayas Sauvignon Blanc has a simple, herbaceous bouquet with dewy green apples and a faint scent of green asparagus. The palate is very simple with (again) those asparagus notes dominating the entry, but it is clean and quaffable, if nothing more, on the finish. Drink now. Importer: no known US importer (though older vintages available) but imported into the UK from www.bibendum-wine.co.uk

The 2009 Cuatro Rayas Sauvignon Blanc is light straw-colored with a perfume of fresh herbs and gooseberry. Crisp, lively, and well-balanced, this flavorful effort will drink well over the next 12-18 months. Importer: The Artisan Collection, New York, NY; tel. (212) 608-0722
