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.

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.
I’ve forewarned Nicholas Wines customers that the 2022 vintage in Burgundy appears to be outstanding. As such, I’ve been stocking up on as much as I can. This one though is a Saturday Nighter – a special wine for sure. It comes from Fourchaume (one of the most noted Chablis 1ers crus) and vineyards situated on long slopes facing the sunrise, which allow for rapid soil warm up – a huge key to making deep, concentrated Chablis. Here the soils are predominantly brown clay and only slightly stony. Most of them are fairly deep and well-draining. It’s one of those most special white wine locations in all of Burgundy. This is a classic.
We’re nearing the end of what was a flawlessly crafted, high energy coastal Chardonnay release from one of California’s hottest spots. It’s still every bit as bright and refreshing as you could want and it hits with clean, pristine green apple fruits, pears and citrus notes with a hint of that limestone-influenced minerality. It’s a fantastic wine for all seasons, the perfect pair with mixed seafood, summer tomatoes, corn and freshly caught fish.
Every year, Pierre Sparr’s Alsacian Riesling is one of the top scoring wines in the under $20 category. There’s a consistency there and consumers know they can count on a Riesling that is aromatic, fruity, elegant, clean and vibrant. Pierre Sparr wines are extremely food-friendly especially in the widely praised 2021 vintage where quality rose to an all-time high. It’s a bone-dry beauty with layers of citrus fruits, framed by wet stone and mineral character that adds dimension.
