The 2021 Sauvignon Blanc begins with sweet fruit aromas of white peach, lime candy and pineapple before soft notions of herbs and savory pepper notes sway from the glass. Medium-bodied and uncomplicated by the use of oak, this wine is fresh, zesty and bright as it ends with a crisp and lively finish that offers a lingering kiss of banana flavor on the aftertaste.

Bottled under screw cap, the 2020 Sauvignon Blanc offers a fresh, crisp and citrus-focused expression of the variety with an undercurrent of pear blossom and white peach. Medium-bodied, the palate is balanced with crisp acidity and ends with a bright, citrus-driven finish. The more than 52,000-bottle production has consumer appeal at this attractive price, and I can see this going down easily by a pool on a warm day.

A solid, mineral-driven white that possesses lots of gunflint, charcoal, lime and grassy/green herbs, the 2012 Sauvignon Blanc is medium-bodied, racy and focused on the palate. While lean on the palate, I like the minerality and precision. Enjoy it over the coming 6-12 months. Drink now-2014. Tel. (425) 877-1006; www.airfieldwines.com

The new releases begin with the 2010 Sauvignon Blanc, aged in stainless steel. Fragrant aromas of citrus, spring flowers, cut grass, and baking spices informs the nose of a dry, crisp, vibrant wine in which the fruit is nicely framed by the lively natural acidity of the vintage. Drink this excellent value over the next 12-18 months. Airfield Estates is the winery of the Miller family, father and son. Long-time grape growers, when son Marcus became interested in wine and received the requisite training, it became time to divert some of the estate grapes into their own label. The first vintage was in 2005. www.airfieldestates.com
