Chevalier de la Crée Montagny Blanc Premier Cru White Bordeaux
4830061625426
$ 39.99
This exquisite white burgundy is owned by Oregon's Domaine Serene. A beautiful Premier Cru Chardonnay from the Côte Chalonnaise region of Burgundy! Limited.
Crafted by the venerable Chevalier de la Crée estate, the Knight's Templar Cuvée offers clean, pure expressions of Premier Cru Burgundian terroir. The Montagny Premier Cru comes from 100% Chardonnay fruit grown in the limestone-rich soils that make Montagny the most highly regarded region for Chardonnay in Burgundy’s Côte Chalonnaise.
The 2018 Chevalier de la Crée Montagny Premier Cru Chardonnay is fresh and fruit driven with floral hints of honey suckle, and delicate expressions of apple, pear, and pure stone fruit tendencies. A concentration of acidity and minerality coats the palate with a lovely weight and viscosity, as the flavors and sea salt-driven aspect linger in the mouth for a long persistent finish.

Accendo 2020 Sauvignon Blanc, Napa Valley
$ 79.99
Rare new white from the former owners of Napa's Araujo Winery. One of Napa's best new Sauvignon Blancs.
95 Points Antonio Galloni: "The 2020 Sauvignon Blanc is such a distinctive wine. As always, the Sauvignon here is a wine of phenolic intensity, yet it retains tons of brightness, verve and varietal character. This is an especially fine vintage for the Accendo Sauvignon Blanc. Don't miss it. ”
This beautiful Sauvignon Blanc comes from Bart and Daphne Araujo's new winery, Accendo Cellars. Heading the winemaking team is longtime winemakers Francoise Peschon and their viticulturist, Steve Matthiasson. The entire Araujo team is back fashioning an even smaller, more deliberate production of wine. The Accendo Sauvignon Blanc offers elegance and sophistication in the glass and drinks like a Graves. On the palate, "a mineral vein reminiscent of wet stone provides structure for the fruit and floral components. Full bodied and round, the wine exhibits great range and definition, with its firm backbone, lively acidity and persistent finish.
Alban 2021 Central Coast Viognier
$ 26.99
One of California's finest Viogniers from the Master John Alban. Very limited.
93 points Robert Parker: "I continue to think John's Central Coast Viognier is one of the best values out there. The Alban Viognier has a wonderful, classic perfume: honeysuckle and quince with an intense core of peachy fruit plus accents of honeyed oats, baker’s yeast and citrus peel. The palate is medium-bodied, intensely flavored and extraordinarily fresh, finishing very long. So lovely!"
92 Points Antonio Galloni (Vinous): "Pale green-hued yellow. Sexy, highly perfumed aromas of mineral-accented white peach, Anjou pear, melon and orange zest carry a bright floral overtone that gains strength with air. Juicy, fresh and densely packed, displaying a suave interplay of richness and vivacity to the orchard and pit fruit flavors. Shows impressive power and definition on the strikingly long finish, which strongly echoes the peach and floral qualities."
91 Points Jeb Dunnuck: "The Alban Viognier Central Coast and is a serious winner. Possessing an elegant, medium to full-bodied, ultra-pure profile as well as classic notes of caramelized citrus, white flowers, and hints of orange marmalade, it’s well worth a multi-bottle purchase and will keep for 2-3 years."
John Alban is a pioneering central coast master of Rhône varietals, and his Alban Vineyards label is one of the most sought-out sources for what many consider the pinnacle expressions of these grapes in California. His Viognier wines are routinely hailed as top examples of the varietal, and not just from his neighbors, but from many of the top players in Condrieu as well. From the winery: "We make two Viogniers: A Central Coast bottling that is often more than 75% from our own vineyard, and an Estate bottling. The former showcases the forward heady stone fruit of this variety. It is fermented and aged entirely in stainless steel and bottled early."
Altamura 2019 Sauvignon Blanc, Napa Valley
$ 47.99
One of the best Napa Valley Sauvignon Blancs we've discovered, from one of our favorite Napa producers Altmura.

The wine is fermented and aged in new French oak barrels for 18 months resulting in a wine of great depth and complexity, displaying the flavor and textural profile more like a white Bordeaux than a California Sauvignon Blanc. Very limited production of 500 cases.
