The 2015 Screaming Eagle Sauvignon Blanc comes from one of the most prestiguos appelations in the United States. From Oakville Californiawas grown on 2 acres at the Screaming Eagle Vineyards and only 600 bottles were produced.

Rich aromas of baked apple, yellow plum, citrus rind and hints of fresh herbs. Flavors of crisp golden apple mingle with lemon flowers and smoke.

This is a lovely estate, one of the last remaining properties in the Mérignac gravel area, lying next door to Haut Brion and Pape-Clément. The name Caillou refers to pebbles, reflecting the fact that this was once riverbed, when the river Garonne overflowed millions of years ago. The characteristic elegance and finesse of this wine is attributed to its free-draining, gravelly soil and subsoil. Sadly the quantities of white produced are tiny as the wine is lovely.

The 2018 Sancerre Blanc Les Romains offers lovely textural depth and fine balance. Lemon confit, marzipan, spice and floral notes add that extra bit of pliancy and resonance that gives the wine its soft curves and open-knit personality. Best of all, the 2018 will drink well right out of the gate.

This wine will be a pillar for California Sauvignon Blanc. The hallmark tropical components are elevated with the structure of minerality that comes from soils at Ink Grade. The 2019 Sauvignon Blanc has retained an herbal and mineral note with a backdrop of lemongrass and slate. These aromatics are balanced by tropical notes that create a wine of texture and complexity.

Notable for its crispness and clarity, this enjoyable 2022 Joseph Mellot is a stunning example of the Loire region. Well-balanced and the ideal accompaniment for seafood and goat’s cheese, it has a punchy nose and shows plenty of floral aromas.

Bright pale yellow robe with golden reflections. The nose is complex, combining flowers (broom), grapefruit with mineral aromas (flint). The attack is lively and fresh with confirmation of exotic fruits. Good aromatic persistence.
