Rated 94/100 The Wine Spectator

2022 Matanzas Creek Sonoma Sauvignon Blanc....$17.99
Made with grapes sourced throughout nine Sonoma County sub AVAs and partially fermented in stainless steel along with some neutral French oak, this compelling white blended with 2.5% Sémillon begins with a spark of energy. Lean and clean grapefruit bitters hold court with honeydew, dill, Asian pear, and white flowers.
Rated 90/100 The Tasting Panel

2023 Frenzy Mount Richmond Sauvignon Blanc...$17.99

“It shows more richness and offers deeper flavors than most Sauvignons from the region priced under $20, but still shows excellent intensity of aroma and flavor, with lots of linear energy to complement the wine’s breadth and depth. An impressively complete wine, and a terrific value at this price.”

Great Sauvignon Blanc
2021 Downes Family Sanctuary Peak Sauvignon Blanc...$14.99

Suggested retail $17
"Made with the help of Master of Wine Richard Kershaw, this is a serious, well structured Sauvignon Blanc that outperforms many of its peers. Blackcurrant leaf and elderflower flavors provide lots of crunch and focus, with some added structure from partial skin contact before fermentation. 2022-25"

2022 Greywacke Wild Sauvignon Blanc...$29.99
A stunning white, aromatic and supple, with wild fennel, quince, pear and green papaya flavors on a creamy frame. Aromatic details of mango and honeysuckle, with a whiff of flint, emerge on the finish, which just goes on and on. Drink now

2022 Laberinto Cenizas Sauvignon Blanc...$21.99
The 2022 Cenizas de Laberinto Sauvignon Blanc is sharp and vibrant, with 12.6% alcohol, a pH of 3.04 and 8.77 grams of acidity. It was produced with grapes from vines planted in 1993 on volcanic ash soils. In 2022, Tirado macerated a bit more, looking for a little more structure. The wine didn't go through malolactic and was bottled after eight months with lees. This is sharp as a knife, with subtle aromas of meat broth and savory rather than floral or exotic, less varietal, complex, austere and mineral, with a rocky sensation. It's textured and tasty, clean, long and nuanced, fresh and balanced, with the cool sensation of the cold nights. He's worked a lot through decantation to be able to bottle the wine unfiltered, and the wine is bright and clean. It's an amazing wine, one of the finest values in Chile. 25,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in November 2022. Experience with older vintages tells me this wine is going to develop nicely in bottle.
