92 Grey Stack 2018 Rosemary’s Block Sauvignon Blanc (Bennett Valley). A perennial, small-production wine to watch, this comes from cool-climate vines and offers a supple texture and mid-weight ripeness. Balanced in acidity, its flavors lean into delicious apricot and peach. —V.B.

92 Kitá 2018 Camp 4 Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc (Santa Ynez Valley). Tight and fresh aromas of Key lime and grass make for a subtle entry to this zesty bottling.
