The Wagners are California royalty. There’s pretty much nothing they haven’t achieved and no new project they won’t take on. They have virtually no weaknesses in their portfolio. If I had to pick a soft spot, the only thing I could possibly argue is Sauvignon Blanc. At least, there really hasn’t ever been enough to offer up in an email. But unbeknownst to me, the Wagners have been addressing this need.
Early this year, the Wagner Family forward thinking venture into the Suisun Valley officially began with the grand opening of a new state of the art winery right in the heart of the tiny AVA. A prominent up & coming region with similar weather to that of Napa, the added acreage in this region, means a focus on non-Cabernet production. Enter the family’s Sauvignon Blanc.
The Caymus Family Emmolo Sauv Blanc combines fruit from both Suisan and Napa Valley and is left in the more than capable hands of Chuck’s daughter, Jenny. The things she’s been able to do with the family’s Emmolo wines are extremely impressive, and she continues to add to her production each year.
The wine itself is flush with a stone fruit/minerality combination. It’s not grassy or overly ripe, instead featuring delicate fruit made in stainless steel that comes out energetic and focused. A pale gold color in the grass, it attacks with layers of guava, white peach and green melon followed by lively acidity and that mineral cut that SB lovers crave.

Sonoma Coast is well-known as a cool-climate region, perfect for growing Chardonnay. That’s why it’s such a big deal for Route Stock to transition over for the first time from Carnernos over to here. The newly released 2022 beams freshness and comes packed with a delightful energy in its youth. It has a pale straw color with lime hues. The aromas are of honeysuckle, orange blossom and creme brulee with layers of vanilla and a hint of toffee. The palate is lively yet soft with flavors of lemon cream pie and merange.
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.”
The Zenato family has built up quite the reputation for delivering exceptional value with their red and whites in Veneto. Their Pinot Grigio is a particularly great value, punching way above its weight class. Delicately scented and soft on the palate, it offers classic citrus and floral notes in a balanced elegant style. It’s smooth and refreshing with a long, pleasant finish. Great with food.
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.
