Bob Foley holds all his wines back until they’re “ready”. You know this from our stories about the Butcher and Shelter wines, which regularly take several years before Bob is ready for the world to have at them. Both he and his wife serve as the guinea pigs, drinking the wines regularly over time, until they’re deemed good to go. With today’s beauty, they’re finally ready to relinquish some of their private stash.
I had a chance to try Bob’s Estate Blanc this past week and found it to be absolutely flawless. It reminds me of a Cotes du Rhône. Then I was given the price of the wine and was blown away.
This is an amazingly crisp white, especially considering Bob held back a year or two. It’s no surprise. Even without any oak treatment, this is an aromatic treat. Pair with any of the usual suspects: spring salad, poultry or anything out of the ocean.
I think all of Foley’s wines are a bargain especially considering the extra aging (which ain’t cheap) and the pedigree– but this one just might take the cake. It’s not everyday you get to raid the cellar of a true passion project. $28/bottle at the winery and everywhere else online. 43% OFF on bottle one for the next 72 hours. Nearly half off and shipping included on all case orders.

92 Points, James Suckling
Unsurprisingly, this one keeps getting better and with bigger scores to boot. Last year, Wine Enthusiast gave it a 91-point Editors’ Choice review saying, “Te Mata is a few bucks more than your average New Zealand SB. It’s worth every penny.” That pretty much sums up how I feel about this wine. But this year, a 92 feels even more appropriate. A lot of New Zealand SBs give you the gooseberry and tropical aromatics, but this is a serious Sauvignon Blanc with sophistication, and depth.
Every year, this wine has proven to be a Nicholas Wines staple. The newly released 2022 Frenzy Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc is a fabulous value white wine, loaded with green apples, pears and white peaches plus a hint of spice. It’s juicy and fresh, the perfect cocktail hour white. It’s what is referred to as the perfect ‘pool wine’. It’s great paired with just about anything or just enjoyed on its own.
98 Points, Jeb Dunnuck – 96 Points, Parker’s Wine Advocate
“The wine’s prominent vineyard signature or “sense of place” is its core driving feature, and this character is both clearly defined and focused in the wine’s flavor and structure. It shows real authority and great authenticity. Aromatically layered and complex with fresh raspberry and red cherry fruits, then rose petal and thyme, and an underlying mossy, woodsy edge. The wine’s fruit is initially crunchy and crisp before turning darker to sleek and succulent cassis and black cherry. As the wine expands, it grows in volume and mineral focus then finishes long, persistent, and penetrating, with great clarity of flavor and spicy intensity.”
Almondo Roero Arneis Bricco delle Ciliegie Le Rive (Gold Label) is made from the estate’s oldest single plot of vines within the already heralded Bricco Delle Ciliegie (hill of cherries). This is only the fourth vintage of this label but it’s already considered by many to be one of the best white wines in all of Italy. Juicy peaches, pears, and a hint of almonds on the nose. The mouth is dense and fleshy, full of bright fruit, minerality and salinity notes with a touch of spice that’s the highlight of a finish that lingers and lingers in the best way. It’s an absolute treat that I really wish I could snag more than once a year.
