Last month, when Wine Spectator listed their best ‘Sure Bet’ wines for each varietal, it was no surprise to see one name leading the Sauvignon Blanc category – Groth. Perhaps best known for their Cabernets, I’ve visited the winery on a few occasions and when you start your tasting with a Sauvignon Blanc, I’m always completely blown away. It’s lights out.
Of course the Cab Sauvs are perennial high-scorers but they’re certainly not the only ones – the Napa Valley Sauv Blanc has seen a 92-point score or higher for the last five vintages (2017-2021) ahead of this year’s new release that has yet to be scored.
Groth’s all-star winemaker, Ted Henry called the 2022 Sauvignon Blanc arguably the best they’ve ever made, which says a lot considering it’s been part of the winery’s lineup since their inception in 1982. Lettie Teague of the Wall Street Journal agreed, calling it “bright and juicy with notes of citrus” pretty much everything you’re looking for in a Napa Valley Sauvy B.

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.
The newly released 2022 Domaine Laroche Chablis Saint Martin has some big shoes to fill as the last four vintages have earned 92-points or higher, but the early indications are that this is line with previous vintages if not even a little bit ahead at this stage. The problem is – there’s almost none to go around with much smaller yields. Still this is beautiful and crisp, with good focus, energy and depth. I get the signature green fruits on the nose, with some Asian pear, and a hint of jasmine blossom. There’s a beautiful mineral streak that highlights this one. It’s a fantastic White Burg for the price.
92 Points, Wine Enthusiast
This is a huge favorite of folks in the Red Bank area. It’s a bold, unapologetic Chardonnay with juicy notes of peach, lemon sorbet, baking spice and vanilla with a rich, creamy middle and plenty of natural acidity to balance it out. The lemon vanilla finish is perhaps the wine’s calling card or the sheer drinkability of it all. Either way, it’s a Chard that people adore. It’s no wonder Wine Enthusiast called this, “a big win for fans of this bold style”.
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.
