For hundreds of years, the only grapes grown in the Elqui Valley were used for the nation’s most popular spirit, Pisco, a yellowish Brandy made from fermented grape juice. It wasn’t until the early 2000’s that the Oliver Family came in and started Viña Mayu, eager to prove that the region’s unique weather patterns with chalky limestone and clay soils would actually be perfect for some varietals: specifically Syrah and Sauvignon Blanc.
The best part of Chilean wines? The price tags they still carry. With lively, sophisticated Sauvignon Blancs, this is the type of quality that commands $25+/btl in the States for domestic Sauv Blancs, and has even gone above $20 for a lot of the bottles out of Marlborough, NZ. But today, we’re right in the sweet spot- with a $15/btl of delicious Sauvignon Blanc, down to just $13.50/btl on cases.
Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate called 2019, “a very good vintage overall in Chile” and honed in on Vina Mayu in particular. The winery earned several 90+ scores for their 2019s including an excellent 90pt review for this beauty. That’s a strong vote of confidence for a little known producer in an unheralded region that with wines this good, will not be flying under the radar much longer.

90 Points, Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate
The 2019 Sauvignon Blanc has a pungent nose with notes of green peppercorns and green beans, intensely herbal, with the characteristic lightness of the northern wines and high altitude. This has the influence of the coast and has a somewhat salty aftertaste, pungent flavors and a refreshing mouthfeel.

It’s no wonder this is a hot little ticket amongst some of NYC’s best restaurants; this is a killer wine at a great price. The 2022 Petit Chablis has an attractive nose of citrus rind, white flowers, and wet stone. In the palate, the wine is racy and mineral with just a touch of salinity. The hallmark of the great 2022s will be tension and length and Sébastien’s little wine has both in spades. The acidic/mineral cut will make this fantastic at the table and a great candidate for short term aging.
The 2016 vintage in Napa was nearly perfect for winemaker Kian Tavakoli (Opus One, Clos du Val). With ideal weather all throughout harvest, he crafted the Faustini Money Road Chardonnay off the famous vineyard located in the coveted Oakville AVA. The picturesque vineyard off Oakville Crossroad is platinum rated, known for its ideal combination of soil & climate and the big A list names that routinely source fruit. Kian’s Money Road Chard is still youthful despite having a few years of age, probably as a result of its 18 months of slumber in 1/4 new Oak.
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 2021 version has a delightful energy in its youth, with 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.
Just in time, we got back Vincent Ricard’s all-time great white wine bargain. This is a crisp, clean and flat out delicious Loire Valley Sauvignon Blanc. The protege to the Silex-style of Dagueneau – who over the last 15 years has produced flawless and beloved white wines that at last count were on the wine lists of over 36 Michelin-starred restaurants. This is a great house white and one that can surely hold its own with just about everything on the table.
