I was poured the family’s 2019 Sauvignon Blanc at lunch recently and it stole the show. I couldn’t believe it was a 2019 because it still had great acidity and so much life in it. It was delicious, crisp and even had a creamy finish like it was aged in oak.
I actually have met Dave a few times, so I asked him ‘between him and me’ if this saw oak at some point before bottling. But the secret I got was not at all what I was expecting. Dave chuckled and said he got that question a lot. “I don’t tell many people the real secret, which is that we add a little late harvest Sauvignon Blanc to the blend.” It adds a little bit to the roundness and richness, while still letting the fruit speak for itself. It even adds some ageability for the wine. It’s a pretty good trick.
Critics clearly agreed. They gave this sensational Napa Valley value double 90-point reviews (91 for Suckling) though Jeb probably summed it up best when he capped his review of the wine by declaring it, “about as drinkable as they come.”

91 Points, James Suckling
Pretty aromas of green apple, honeydew, lime curd and zest. It’s medium-bodied with tangy acidity and a gently waxy texture. Flint on the finish.
90 Points, Jeb Dunnuck
Pretty sugared lime and light white peach notes emerge from the 2019 Sauvignon Blanc, a medium-bodied, lightly textured, refreshing Sauvignon Blanc that’s about as drinkable as they come.

Elena Walch’s newly released 2022 Pinot Bianco continues to be the best example of Pinot Blanc anywhere. She’s the undisputed queen. There’s so much energy in this new release. Super light in color, with a busy nose that boasts ripe aromas of citrus, granny smith apple with a hint of freshly mowed grass. Made entirely in stainless steel, the wine is expressive, fresh and finishes as clean and tight as can be. Definitely will continue the run of 90+ scores once this one is reviewed.
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.
92 Points (Best Buy), Wine Enthusiast – 90 Points, James Suckling
The winery could never expected their Tuscan Vermentino would become as integral as it has – even 25 years later, it’s still a key piece of the puzzle for Campo Maccione. It’s an unassuming wine with great viscosity and bright, savory flavors that way overdelivers for the price. James Suckling agreed, as did Wine Enthusiast. Suckling gave it a 90 and deemed it “an interesting take on Tuscan Vermentino.” Wine Enthusiast took it up a few notches, attaching a coveted ‘Best Buy’ designate to the wine along with a 92-point review for the wine “with a sophisticated restraint.”
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.
