Nobody on the planet can boast the hot streak that Allan Scott is currently enjoying. The legendary New Zealand winemaker, who was the first to plant a vineyard in Marlborough in 1973 has become as important to NZ’s winemaking as Michel Rolland is to France, Alberto Antonini to Italy or some of the other greats.
For decades, he’s set the benchmark for winemaking in New Zealand, whether it be Sauvignon Blanc or any other varietal for that matter, though if there’s one thing NZ is known for it’s their zippy, fruity SBs. In terms of making those, Scott is the absolute best.
It started with his 2020 Allan Scott Sauv Blanc being recognized as one of Wine Spectator’s Top 100 wines. A perennial 90+ pointer, that wasn’t super surprising, though any time a New Zealand Sauv Blanc ends up in the Top 25 (it finished #23) is an occasion worth celebrating.
Luckily, Allan didn’t rest on his laurels. He followed up the 2020 vintage with his 2021 Marlborough SB that ended up winning Wine Spectator’s 2021 Wine Value of the Year – an insanely impressive honor. It really can’t be understated the amount of class, flavor and aromatics that Scott puts into a bottle. Truly unmatched.
Luckily for us, Scott shows no signs of slowing down. I was able to taste the brand new 2022 Sandy Cove Sauvignon Blanc at a tasting, and was completely blown away. I couldn’t find a ton out about the winery, but when I asked who made it, everything made sense – Allan Scott, of course.

Elena Walch’s newly released 2022 Pinot Bianco continues to be the best example of Pinot Blanc anywhere. She’s the undisputed queen. There’s so much energy in this new release. Super light in color, with a busy nose that boasts ripe aromas of citrus, granny smith apple with a hint of freshly mowed grass. Made entirely in stainless steel, the wine is expressive, fresh and finishes as clean and tight as can be. Definitely will continue the run of 90+ scores once this one is reviewed.
The 2016 vintage in Napa was nearly perfect for winemaker Kian Tavakoli (Opus One, Clos du Val). With ideal weather all throughout harvest, he crafted the Faustini Money Road Chardonnay off the famous vineyard located in the coveted Oakville AVA. The picturesque vineyard off Oakville Crossroad is platinum rated, known for its ideal combination of soil & climate and the big A list names that routinely source fruit. Kian’s Money Road Chard is still youthful despite having a few years of age, probably as a result of its 18 months of slumber in 1/4 new Oak.

If you’ve never heard of Bisci, let’s start here. Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate called Giuseppe Bisci’s Verdicchio “one of the finest I’ve ever tasted,” and noted that “Verdicchio is one of the joys of Italian oenology that rarely gets the respect it deserves, and few producers do it better than Bisci.” A staple at $85/bottle for both French Laundry and Eleven Madison Park. “Verdicchio is one of the joys of Italian oenology that rarely gets the respect it deserves, and few producers do it better than Bisci.” – The Wine Advocate
This is a super elegant Meursault from the family-run estate located in the village of Monthelie, between Volnay and Meursault in the heart of Burgundy’s Côte de Beaune. It leads with nutty aromas of brioche, fresh butter and delicate citrus and is extremely well structured, long and stylish with great purity of fruit.
