The Fidélitas winery focuses all of their effort on making high quality wines from Red Mountain. This small AVA is known for producing big, fruit-driven wines, and is one of my favorites in Washington. Finding Red Mountain wines under $40 can be challenging but this Sauvignon Blanc squeezes in at $35. It is lightly creamy with grapefruit and white blossoms. As with many Red Mountain wines, it is notably weighty, partially from its 14.1% alcohol. Fidélitas and Red Mountain wines can be pricey but this delicious white clearly punches above its price in my book.
