94 Points, Decanter – 93 Points, James Suckling
From the two winemakers who helped put Cloudy Bay on the map in New Zealand, this is quintessential Sauvignon Blanc from NZ with everything that you could possibly want. It’s got an electricity running through the bottle with great tension and length, oozing aromas and beautifully concentrated fruit.
Together James Healy and founding viticulturalist Ivan Sutherland show that together with their Sauvignon Blancs are absolutely world-class, and that their second act after Cloudy Bay is just as compelling if not more than their first. It’s rare that you’ll have a Sauvignon Blanc from New Zealand with a 94 or 93 next to it, but this isn’t like pretty much any of the other NZ Sauv Blancs on the market.
The best part is the price. After taking every case of 2020 Dog Point SB left in the country, we’ve been rewarded with a sensational price that reads like a misprint. Only 12 cases total to go around though. Do not wait!

94 Points, Decanter
Powerful, precise and classic Dog Point Sauvignon: stylish and mineral nose of citrus and tropical fruit and an abundance of fresh herbs. All the attributes displayed in the bouquet come alive on the silky, fresh, salivating and fruity palate. A lively, refreshing example; well made, lengthy, and tasty.
93 Points, James Suckling
This has some youthful, flinty notes with lime peel and green passion fruit, as well as peach and wet stone. The palate is crisp, composed and quite nicely coiled into shape. Punchy and pure citrus and tropical flavors sit fresh. Drink now.

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.
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.
2022 was an absolutely perfect vintage in this respect and unfortunately, I think it will be one of the last, if not THE last. As winegrower Jean-Marc Brocard reported to Decanter: “When we taste the wines, we feel that the balance between acidity and ripeness is very good. It’s a classic style of Chablis. In the end, even after such a heat during summertime, we stay in a cool year reference.” He also alluded to the ageability of the vintage, saying “Let’s give them time, we must let nature do its work.”

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
