Krug and Mondavi are two last names that carry tremendous weight in Napa Valley and California winemaking. Charles Krug was the winemaking pioneer who became one of the first in the area to plant grapes when he established his namesake winery in 1861. Cesare and Rosa Mondavi would go on to purchase that estate in the early 1940’s and the Mondavi’s have managed the property for over 80 years and through four generations. Needless to say, there is unparalleled history and tradition there.
The beautiful Krug Estate, the oldest winery estate in the country, calls the revered St. Helena AVA their home. It’s a flat out gorgeous, state-of-the art winery, with no expenses spared in their operation. In fact, the team even pays to have their Sauvignon Blanc grapes picked in the dead of night to ensure the perfect time, when the grapes are pristine and not stressed from the heat or the sun.
In doing so, they preserve the full aromatic fireworks – a bouquet of stone fruits, guava, grapefruit and melon with wonderful lemony acidity and tension. The body is excellent and crisp with a touch of minerality to compliment the energetic, juicy fruit. The stainless steel maturation process makes this one especially expressive right from the start.
Unsurprisingly, this beautiful Napa Valley Sauv Blanc is one of the higher rated domestic Sauvnignon Blancs in the 2021 vintage. Armed with a 92-point score from James Suckling who called the wine, “bright” , “steely” and “crisp.” Surprisingly though, for such class, it’s got a juicy Tuesday night price that pushes this into the no-brainer category.

A bright, steely white with sliced limes and honey. Medium-bodied, creamy and tangy. Crisp and dry at the end. Drink now.

It’s an electric white Burgundy, with a limestone-laced aromatic profile of green apple, pear and hazelnut. Refined and high-toned, the pure, delicious fruit that is a hallmark of this terrific vintage, finishes long and fresh, with a mile-long mineral streak.
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 newly released Riesling Feinherb 2021 is a lively, juicy wine with an elegant bouquet of minerals, wet stone and ripe fruit. On the palate, the wine’s slight off-dry component is beautifully balanced by the steely acidity typical of the Mosel. Because this is freshly released, the fruit is vibrant and succulent and it comes in somewhere between off-dry and semi-sweet. It’s a great example of Riesling, especially at the price.
Glistening pale yellow-green to the rim, infused with mouth-watering aromas of ripe apple, pear and quince, and crushed almonds with honey and rich creamy middle and a fantastic rush of acidity and minerality that are present throughout. A calling card of Bonhomme’s Vire-Clesse, if you closed your eyes and took a sip, it would have you convinced you were drinking Meursault at least a 3x price tag.
