Nobody on the planet can boast the hot streak that Allan Scott is currently enjoying. The legendary New Zealand winemaker, who was the first to plant a vineyard in Marlborough in 1973 has become as important to NZ’s winemaking as Michel Rolland is to France, Alberto Antonini to Italy or some of the other greats.
For decades, he’s set the benchmark for winemaking in New Zealand, whether it be Sauvignon Blanc or any other varietal for that matter, though if there’s one thing NZ is known for it’s their zippy, fruity SBs. In terms of making those, Scott is the absolute best.
It started with his 2020 Allan Scott Sauv Blanc being recognized as one of Wine Spectator’s Top 100 wines. A perennial 90+ pointer, that wasn’t super surprising, though any time a New Zealand Sauv Blanc ends up in the Top 25 (it finished #23) is an occasion worth celebrating.
Luckily, Allan didn’t rest on his laurels. He followed up the 2020 vintage with his 2021 Marlborough SB that ended up winning Wine Spectator’s 2021 Wine Value of the Year – an insanely impressive honor. It really can’t be understated the amount of class, flavor and aromatics that Scott puts into a bottle. Truly unmatched.
Luckily for us, Scott shows no signs of slowing down. I was able to taste the brand new 2022 Sandy Cove Sauvignon Blanc at a tasting, and was completely blown away. I couldn’t find a ton out about the winery, but when I asked who made it, everything made sense – Allan Scott, of course.

This is a super elegant Meursault from the family-run estate located in the village of Monthelie, between Volnay and Meursault in the heart of Burgundy’s Côte de Beaune. It leads with nutty aromas of brioche, fresh butter and delicate citrus and is extremely well structured, long and stylish with great purity of fruit.
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.
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.
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 2022 beams freshness and comes packed with a delightful energy in its youth. It has 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.
