Fidélitas, Red Mountain (Yakima Valley, Washington) 2020

 This is an excellent Bordeaux Blanc-styled white that will push your quality expectations for U.S. Sauvignon Blanc-based blends.  Fidélitas focuses on the small but excellent AVA of Red Mountain, which is known in the Washington wine scene for powerful, complex wines with excellent fruit concentration.  This wine meets those high expectations with impactful pear, honeysuckle, and grapefruit notes.  At $35, this wine challenges any Bordeaux white in its price range.
