Saint-Véran is one of Burgundy’s best-kept secrets — an appellation that shares the same limestone-rich soils as its famous neighbor Pouilly-Fuissé, producing Chardonnay of genuine depth and ageability at a fraction of the price. For the Pollier family, who have been farming the Mâconnais since the 18th century, it is home ground: 13 hectares planted entirely to Chardonnay, cultivated across Saint-Véran, Pouilly-Fuissé, and Mâcon-Villages, from vines averaging 40 years old with some parcels reaching an impressive 70 years.

‘Les Trois Bousquet’ is their single-vineyard expression of Saint-Véran at its most precise — estate fruit only, from old vines on limestone, vinified to reflect the terroir rather than the winemaker. The result is a Chardonnay of quiet authority: subtle and inviting on the nose, with lemon, apricot, acacia, and honeysuckle opening into a palate of real clarity and roundness. Notes of almond, hazelnut, cinnamon, and a touch of butter carry through to a finish with an exotic twist of orange peel — complex, harmonious, and unmistakably Burgundian.

A benchmark for what Saint-Véran can be, from one of the Mâconnais’ most quietly distinguished family estates. Drinks beautifully now and will reward patience through 2030+.

• Producer: Domaine Daniel et Christine Pollier
• Appellation: Saint-Véran AOC, Mâconnais, Burgundy, France
• Vineyard: Les Trois Bousquet — single vineyard, limestone soils
• Varietal: 100% Chardonnay
• Vines: Avg. 40 years (some 70 years)
• Vintage: 2024
• Format: 750ml

Food Pairings: Seafood risotto, roasted chicken, pasta with mushrooms, creamy goat cheese, oysters, and delicate fish preparations.

In a valley that has made its name on Cabernet Sauvignon, Frog’s Leap has always done things a little differently. Since 1981, they have farmed their Rutherford estate organically and dry-farmed — no irrigation, no shortcuts, no apology for it — producing wines that taste unmistakably of where they come from. Their Sauvignon Blanc is proof that Napa can make world-class whites when a producer commits to restraint and terroir over sheer extraction.

The 2024 is sourced from 100% Sauvignon Blanc, vinified primarily in stainless steel to preserve freshness and precision, with lees-stirring to build mid-palate texture and a small addition of Muscat clone for aromatic lift. The result is a white of genuine elegance: stone fruit and white flower on the nose, layered with crisp citrus, mineral, slate, and a clean herbaceous thread that speaks clearly of Rutherford’s distinctive soil and climate.

On the palate it is medium-bodied and refreshingly precise — bright lemon and lime flavors supported by lively acidity, with dried herb and mineral accents that carry through to a clean, focused finish. This is California Sauvignon Blanc at its most thoughtful.

Expert Reviews - Vintage 2024:

93 Vinous — “Lemon confit, slate, white pepper, mint and dried herbs… lees-stirring builds the mid-palate beautifully.”

92 James Suckling — “Crisp, well balanced and medium-bodied… refreshing and clean. Good acidity supports bright lemon and lime flavors.”

Food Pairings: Oysters, grilled halibut, goat cheese salad, roasted asparagus, herb-crusted chicken, or a simple summer lunch that deserves a great white.

Joseph Faiveley Bourgogne Blanc — Burgundy 2024

Faiveley's Bourgogne Blanc is the entry point into one of Burgundy's most storied estates — and it punches well above its appellation. Founded in 1825 and based in Nuits-Saint-Georges, Faiveley is among the largest vineyard owners in the Côte d'Or, with holdings spanning the Côte de Nuits and Côte de Beaune. That estate access is the secret: fruit from their own vineyards is blended with carefully selected grapes from trusted growers, producing a wine of genuine village-level character at an appellation price. The 2024 vintage delivers everything you want from a Burgundian Chardonnay — freshness, generosity, and a length that defies its price.

The color is a brilliant pale greenish-yellow. The nose is expressive and charming: white flowers, ripe pear, lemon zest, and a whisper of minerality. On the palate, the attack is bold and generous — round and full-bodied with a creamy mid-palate, subtle oak integration, and a finish of exceptional length and persistence for a Bourgogne Blanc. This is the benchmark for what entry-level white Burgundy can be.

"A genuine value wine — exceptional length and persistence for a Bourgogne Blanc." — Joseph Faiveley

• Producer: Joseph Faiveley, Nuits-Saint-Georges, Burgundy, France
• Vintage: 2024
• Appellation: Bourgogne Blanc AOC
• Varietal: 100% Chardonnay
• Style: Crisp, generous, expressive entry-level white Burgundy
• Size: 750ml
• Tasting Notes: White flowers, pear, lemon zest, minerality, creamy mid-palate, long finish
• Cellar Potential: Drink now or cellar 3–5 years
• Best Paired With: Grilled fish, roasted chicken, veal, soft cheeses, mushroom dishes, light pasta with cream sauce

A genuine value from one of Burgundy's great historic maisons — Faiveley's Bourgogne Blanc is the everyday Chardonnay with real Burgundian soul.

Louis Jadot Chablis 2025 750ml

Louis Jadot's Chablis is a textbook expression of one of Burgundy's most distinctive appellations — pure, precise, and unmistakably mineral. Aged entirely in stainless steel to preserve the integrity of the Kimmeridgian limestone terroir, this is Chardonnay stripped of all artifice: no oak, no softening, just the raw, electric energy of Chablis.

Tasting Notes

Pristine and bright on the nose — citrus zest, green apple, and white flowers with a signature chalky minerality. The palate is crisp and focused, with high natural acidity, a saline edge, and a long, clean finish. Classic Chablis in every sense.

Food Pairings

Pair with fresh oysters, lobster, crab, fish tartare, or goat cheese.

The Wine Enthusiast 96 Points | A fabulous vintage of Filius, and a total bargain for this level of quality. Layered aromas appear from first sniff: plump currants and plums, dark chocolate, savory herbs and florals, graphite and a mineral, iodine-like nuance. In the mouth, there's bright fruit and silky texture, with savory, fine tannins and a long, elegant finish. Made to drink now or to age for several more years. A wonderful intro to this distinctive Aussie style.

Beronia Wineries: Experience the Excellence of Rioja GRAN Reserva 2018

Our Professional Review 

Oscar Garcia 67wino.shop | Beronia Gran Reserva is one of my favorite Gran Reservas. Every vintage seems to get better and better. The long-term aging Gran Reserva gives the wine time to develop a great arrange of flavors and nuances, not found in younger wines. Aromas of toasty oak, cassis, dark plum and cedar. Medium to full-bodied. Great length and integration. Serious but approachable.

Expert Reviews - Vintage 2018

James Suckling 92 Points | Attractive nose with a hint of walnut husk and dark earth to the black cherries and sweet tobacco. A hint of truffle and sous-bois, too. Medium-bodied on the palate with firm, dusty tannins that grow and extend in a long, succulent finish. Tempranillo, graciano and mazuelo.

The Wine Enthusiast 92 Points | Deep violet to the eye, this wine has a nose of black plum, dark chocolate and dried hillside herbs. Bold red berry flavors are joined by plush tannins and deeper notes of mocha, truffle and thyme. As flavors and textures wind down on the palate, a note of orange zest remains.

The Wine Spectator 90 Points | A classy red, fresh and fragrant, with notes of bay leaf, pepper and tar-tinged mineral accenting crushed cherry and blackberry fruit flavors. Shows good focus, with lightly chalky tannins in a medium-bodied frame. Tempranillo, Mazuelo and Graciano. Drink now through 2026. 50,000 cases made, 3,500 cases imported.

Memo Summary Notes

The Bodegas Beronia Rioja Gran Reserva 2018 represents the pinnacle of Beronia’s classic lineup. While the Mi Villa you looked at earlier is fresh and unoaked, this Gran Reserva is the complete opposite: a wine defined by patience, extensive aging, and complex secondary flavors.

A wine of this stature needs "heavy lifters" to match its intensity:

• • Game: Roasted duck or wild boar ragu.

  • Mature Cheeses: Aged Manchego, Roncal, or even a salty Blue cheese.

  • Umami Dishes: Anything involving truffles or wild forest mushrooms.

    Red Meats: Slow-roasted lamb shanks, prime rib, or venison. 

The Making of Rioja GRAN Reserva

The 2018 vintage of Rioja GRAN Reserva is a testament to meticulous craftsmanship. Grapes are handpicked at optimal ripeness, then aged for an impressive 24 months in oak barrels, which adds layers of flavor and structure. This careful aging process ensures that the wine develops a wonderful balance of fruity and spicy notes. Because of this attention to detail, you can trust that every sip delivers a rich, sophisticated experience that complements many meals or stands alone as a delightful choice.

An Overview of Beronia Wineries

Beronia Wineries is a renowned name in the world of Spanish wine, particularly noted for its exceptional Rioja creations. Founded in 1973, the winery embraces traditional methods combined with modern innovation. The iconic Rioja GRAN Reserva 2018 showcases the rich heritage and quality that Beronia represents. Using Tempranillo grapes, this wine reflects the unique terroir of Rioja, bringing depth and complexity to every bottle, making it a sought-after choice for wine enthusiasts.

Pairing Suggestions and Serving Tips

When serving the Beronia Rioja Gran Reserva 2018, consider decanting it for about an hour before enjoying. This allows the wine to breathe and enhances its flavors. It pairs beautifully with dishes such as grilled lamb, gourmet cheeses, and hearty stews. This wine is perfect for special occasions or cozy evenings at home, making it a versatile addition to your wine collection.

Uccelliera · Rosso di Montalcino · 2023

Andrea Cortonesi’s Uccelliera estate sits near Castelnuovo dell’Abate in the southeast of Montalcino. This 2023 Rosso offers an inviting mix of red fruit, flowers and savory freshness, with the structure to follow a meal from start to finish.

Expert Reviews · 2023 Vintage

An intense and perfumed wine full of violets, blood oranges, red cherries and pepper. The attack is soft, with a medium body, velvety tannins, crisp acidity and a savory finish. Juicy and delicious. Drink or hold.

James Suckling · 94 points

The ruby red 2023 Rosso Di Montalcino is fruity with aromas of mixed berries, sweet herbs, and fresh flowers. It's medium-bodied, with good structure and a ripe feel, although it retains good freshness. This lovely wine casts a wide net and can be enjoyed throughout a meal. Drink over the coming 8-10 years.

Jeb Dunnuck · 92 points

The 2023 Rosso di Montalcino is remarkably pretty, captivating with an exotic burst of wildflowers, blood orange and stone dust before giving way to crushed black cherries. This is soft and round yet shows its minerality up front, with a salty tinge emphasizing its ripe wild berry fruit. It finishes with outstanding length and is gently tannic, leaving a red plum concentration. This is a total pleasure to taste. Yields in 2023 were down by 25% due to the peronospora outbreak in the spring. However, the season also blessed this bottling with lower alcohol levels and outstanding freshness.

About Uccelliera

Andrea Cortonesi purchased the estate in 1986 after working at neighboring Ciacci Piccolomini. Uccelliera’s first vintage followed in 1991. The winery works its vineyards by hand, and its Rosso di Montalcino offers a window into the estate’s rich yet balanced style.

I Favati | Pietramara | Fiano di Avellino DOCG | Campania, Italy | 2024

Vinous: 91 Points (Prior 2023 vintage) — Minty herbs combine with crushed stone and nuances of exotic spice as the Pietramara blossoms in the glass. Soothingly round, displaying a pretty inner sweetness balanced by juicy acidity and a core of tart orchard fruits. Hints of raw almond mix with candied citrus, showing a sweet and sour character through the long and mouthwatering finale.

I Favati is one of Campania's most respected family estates, farming the volcanic hillside vineyards of Avellino with a commitment to expressing the singular character of Fiano — one of southern Italy's most ancient and distinguished white varieties. The Pietramara is the estate's flagship Fiano di Avellino, sourced from old vines planted in the high-altitude soils of the Irpinia hills, where cool temperatures, volcanic ash and mineral-rich limestone combine to produce whites of remarkable depth, tension and longevity.

Fiano di Avellino has been prized since antiquity — the Romans called it Vitis Apiana, the vine of the bees, for the irresistible sweetness of its grapes. Today it is recognized as one of Italy's finest white DOCG appellations, capable of producing wines that age gracefully for a decade or more. The Pietramara is vinified to honor that tradition: fermented in stainless steel to preserve freshness and aromatic precision, with extended lees contact adding texture and complexity.

The 2024 opens with aromas of lemon peel, ripe pear, white peach and a distinctive smoky, mineral note — the hallmark of Avellino's volcanic soils. With air, hints of almond blossom, dried herbs, grilled pineapple and hazelnut emerge. The palate is medium-bodied and beautifully balanced, with bright acidity, a creamy texture and a long, mouthwatering finish marked by citrus, stone fruit and a clean saline minerality.

Serve well chilled at 48–52°F. An excellent aperitif and a natural partner for seafood, grilled fish, shellfish, light pasta with cream or herb sauces, roasted vegetables, fresh cheeses and the classic dishes of Campania.

Expert Reviews - Vintage 2022

Decanter 92 Points | Pretty forceful, direct acidity here. Classic Chablis style. Will age. Comes from two plots situated on the left bank of the Serein, with one positioned below Montée de Tonnerre. They are fermented and kept separate before blending. Mostly hand-harvested.

Jasper Morris 91 Points | Pretty forceful, direct acidity here. Classic Chablis style. Will age. Comes from two plots situated on the left bank of the Serein, with one positioned below Montée de Tonnerre. They are fermented and kept separate before blending. Mostly hand-harvested.

Memo Notes

The 2022 growing season was warm, which gave this wine more volume and richness than the leaner 2021, but Billaud's signature precision remains intact.

• Aroma: Classic "Kimmeridgian" mineral notes of crushed chalk and seashell, followed by yellow plum, white flowers, and a hint of beeswax.

• Palate: Vibrant and electric. Expect a core of lemon zest, green apple, and white peach. The texture is slightly creamy from the lees aging but is driven by a distinct saline (salty) streak.
• 
  

  Finish: Long, dry, and exceptionally clean, with a lingering flinty finish.

  Memo Pairing Notes

• The Gold Standard: Fresh oysters on the half shell or chilled crab claws. 

  • Main Courses: Grilled sea bass with lemon and herbs, or a creamy mushroom risotto.

  • Cheese: Goat cheese (Chèvre) or a light, nutty Comté.

Tenuta di Fessina · Erse Etna Bianco · 2025

Named for Erse, the Greek goddess of morning dew, this Etna Bianco comes from Tenuta di Fessina on Sicily’s volcanic Mount Etna. Carricante is the grape at the heart of the wine, and the estate’s earlier listing describes Erse as a mineral-driven expression of its high-altitude setting. This bottle is listed as the 2025 vintage; tasting notes and scores below from the earlier listing belong to 2024, not this vintage.

For the 2025 bottle, try pairing Etna Bianco with grilled fish, seafood pasta or fresh cheeses. These are serving suggestions, not a tasting assessment of the new vintage.

Vintage Review · 2025 Rating

The nose gleams with aromas of lemon, lime, crushed sea shells and new sneakers. On the palate, mixed tart and sweet citrus elements are joined by Anjou pears and toasted almonds. A wine that is bright, light and refreshing, but still substantial.

Danielle Callegari · Wine Enthusiast · 92 points for 2025 vintage

Julien Sunier is one of Beaujolais' most celebrated natural winemakers, known for producing wines of exceptional purity, precision, and terroir expression. Working from his base in the Beaujolais crus, Sunier farms all of his fruit organically and approaches winemaking with a philosophy of minimal intervention — allowing the Gamay grape and the land to speak for themselves. Wild Soul is his ‘anytime red’: a wine conceived for pure, effortless pleasure, and a perfect introduction to his singular style.

The 2024 Wild Soul is sourced from 4.5 hectares of organically farmed vineyards in Régnié, with the addition, for the first time, of some declassified Morgon and Fleurie — making this effectively a Beaujolais Cru blend in all but name. The vineyards sit at high altitude (400 meters), where cooler temperatures and granitic soils produce Gamay of exceptional freshness, aromatic vibrancy, and natural tension.

Vinification follows Sunier's signature approach: cold carbonic maceration without extraction, fermentation with indigenous yeasts, and maturation in 3,000-liter foudres on fine lees. Only 10mg/L of SO₂ is added just prior to bottling, and the wine is released unfiltered — preserving every nuance of the fruit and terroir.

The 2024 opens with an open, expressive bouquet of cranberry, tomato vine, and subtle ferrous notes — complex and well-defined for a Beaujolais-Villages. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied, poised, and transparent, with fine tannins, lively acidity, and a tensile, persistent finish. Pure, vibrant Gamay at its most compelling. Best served slightly chilled.

"Open and expressive bouquet with cranberry and touches of tomato vine, very well defined and complex for a Beaujolais-Villages… The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, very poised and transparent, with a tensile and quite persistent finish. Excellent."

Black-currant and toast aromas from the Cabernet Sauvignon in the blend give the wine richness and dense, concentrated black fruits.

James Suckling 94 Points | A nice smoky layer to the fresh blackcurrants, cedar and graphite. This shows the Pauillac structure and demureness with an appealing touch of dark, ashy fruit and a lead-pencil note. Full-bodied, the palate is packed with dusty, fine-grained tannins. Excellent length and verticality here. It will become even more resolved and long.

The Wine Spectator 93 Points | This is a dark and sleek offering, with gently mulled black currant and blackberry fruit dusted with a cocoa note and gilded with violet and dried anise accents. A light kiss of singed cedar underscores the fresh finish.

Castello di Monsanto · Chianti Classico Riserva DOCG · 2022 · 750ml

The Producer

Some stories don't have a beginning or an end. Castello di Monsanto is one of them: a visionary family, an uncontaminated terroir in the heart of Chianti Classico, and a shared passion for wine that set a quiet revolution in motion more than 60 years ago. Aldo Bianchi started it, his son Fabrizio carried it forward with audacity and foresight at a time when Tuscany wasn't ready for change, and today Fabrizio's daughter Laura continues the work with pride and tenacity, transforming longstanding tradition into something built for tomorrow.

The Wine

One of the oldest labels in Italy and the winery's most important bottling, the Riserva is a testament to the Bianchi family's philosophy on Sangiovese, rounded out with small amounts of Canaiolo and Colorino. Expect a restrained, polished style: bright red and dark fruit, violets, licorice and savory Tuscan herbs over fine tannins and fresh acidity.

Expert Reviews - Vintage 2022

"A restrained wine with bright and polished aromas of raspberries, red cherries, subtle mint, violets and licorice. Medium-bodied, juicy and smooth, with velvety tannins and refreshing acidity. Long finish. Drink or hold."

Our Professional Review

Oscar Garcia Moncada, 67Wine Buyer, writes: Raventós i Blanc De Nit Rosé is a benchmark rosé sparkling wine. The Raventós family’s commitment to biodynamic agriculture serves as the core philosophy of their winemaking. Fine bubbles with a nose of raspberry, red currants, and wild strawberries. Crisp and enticing finish. Serve chilled as an aperitif.

A Spanish sparkling rosé made with biodynamically grown estate grapes in the style of Cava. This Macabeo-driven blend has a pale light pink hue — matched on the palate with an elegant bouquet of pink grapefruit, rose petals, red berry fruits, and lively acidity.

Expert Reviews

Buena Vista Chateau Cabernet Sauvignon — Napa Valley, California 2022

Buena Vista is California’s oldest premium winery — and one of its most colorful. Founded in 1857 in Sonoma by Agoston Haraszthy, the self-proclaimed “Count of Buena Vista,” a Hungarian immigrant who pursued “purple gold” in the hills of Northern California after following the forty-niners, Buena Vista established the template for California fine wine. Since 2011, winemaking has resumed in the original caves — the first wine caves in California — with small-lot wines crafted in open-top oak fermenters with native yeasts and hand punch-downs. The Chateau Cabernet Sauvignon honors the estate’s Napa Valley roots: a full-bodied, plush, and expressive Cabernet that delivers the richness and concentration the valley is famous for. James Suckling awarded it 91 points; Tasting Panel 95. At under $43, it is one of the most compelling values in Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon.

Deep purple in the glass. The nose is captivating: fresh raspberry, luscious cherry, cranberry, vanilla, chocolate plum, and violets. On the palate, it is full-bodied, plush, and concentrated, with flavors of strawberry, sweet cherry, blackcurrant, boysenberry, and vanilla cake, framed by velvet tannins, a tickle of white peppered cedar, and a long, harmoniously balanced finish.

Expert Reviews - Vintage 2022

Clos du Mont-Olivet · Côtes-du-Rhône · Vieilles Vignes · 2024

Clos du Mont-Olivet is one of the benchmark producers associated with Châteauneuf-du-Pape, and this Vieilles Vignes Côtes-du-Rhône shows the same classic Rhône sensibility in a more approachable bottle. The 2024 opens with expansive aromas of garrigue, cherries, blackberries, and light incense.

On the palate, raspberry and black cherry fill the mouth, supported by moderate tannins and a long, savory finish. The Grenache-led blend brings generous fruit, while Syrah, Mourvèdre, Cinsault, and Carignan add spice, structure, and depth.

“One of the benchmark producers of Châteauneuf-du-Pape…the consistent results have always been classic Châteauneuf-du-Papes that stand the test of time.”

Domaine de la Grosse Pierre — Chiroubles, Beaujolais 2024

Pauline Passot’s story is one of the most compelling in Beaujolais. A trained sommelier who worked at the Michelin-starred Pierre Orsi in Lyon, she returned to her family’s roots in Chiroubles in 2016 with a clear mission: to show the world what this underrated Cru could do. Her principal holding is the La Grosse Pierre parcel — classic rose granite soils, 45-year-old vines — vinified whole-cluster in open carbonic maceration, aged in concrete, unfiltered, with little or no sulfites. This is Beaujolais made with the seriousness of a grand cru and the soul of a grower who believes in her terroir.

The nose is vibrant and expressive: red and black cherries, delicate floral notes, and a hint of vine smoke. On the palate, it is light to medium-bodied with silky texture, lively energy, and juicy fruit carried by fine tannins. The finish is clean, elegant, and unmistakably Chiroubles — the most perfumed and ethereal of all the Beaujolais Crus.

Isole e Olena Chianti Classico — Tuscany 2022

Isole e Olena is one of Chianti Classico’s most storied estates, born from the union of two medieval villages in the heart of the appellation. Founded in 1956 by Francesco De Marchi and shaped into a benchmark producer by his son Paolo, the estate has long been synonymous with authentic, terroir-driven Sangiovese. In 2022, the De Marchi family passed the baton to Christopher Descours, whose team — led by longtime estate director Emanuele Reolon — continues the same mission: to give voice to an extraordinary region through wines of superb character. The 2022 vintage earned 93 points from James Suckling and 92 from both Wine Advocate and Vinous.

A blend of 90% Sangiovese and 10% Canaiolo, the nose is layered and expressive: bright red cherries, dried cherries, sweet violets, licorice, and a hint of Tuscan rosemary and laurel leaf. On the palate, it is medium-bodied and supple — silky tannins frame a core of bright red fruit, rose petal, cinnamon, and blood orange, with a crunchy, refreshing finish. Vibrant, lively, and unmistakably Chianti Classico.

🇮🇹 James Suckling 93 — “A layered wine with bright red cherries, dried cherries, sweet violets and a lot of licorice on the nose. Medium-bodied and very supple and refreshing on the palate.” (Vintage 2022).

🇮🇹 Vinous 92 — “An elegant, gracious wine. Silky tannins frame a core of bright red-toned fruit, rose petal, cinnamon and blood orange.” (Vintage 2022).

Expert Review - Vintage 2023 

Vinous 93 Points | The 2023 Vouvray Sec Le Haut-Lieu is a pure, refined, seamless style with pear, pineapple and nectarine flavors. It boasts excellent clarity and refinement, with lovely freshness hailing from calibrated acidity that bursts through this blossoming wine. Considering this was only bottled three weeks before tasting, I’m very encouraged by the results.

Wine Spectator 92 Points | Fresh-crushed apple, quince and spice notes have an earthy dimension, with hints of roasted agave and wet soil. There's beautiful range and just enough plumpness to make this generous, yet it's held in check by a chalky mineral element and very fine tannins. Toasted almond and salted butter notes move in, with lime-edged acidity cleaning up the finish. Refined and complex. Drink now through 2037.

Winemaker Description 

The original Huët vineyard is nearly 9 hA. It has the richest soils of the domaine’s three crus - a deep limestone-clay - and the wines are generally the estate’s most approachable. In some vintages, small quantities from nearby estate parcels may be added to Le Haut-Lieu. Winemaker Description.

Covenant Wines | Sauvignon Blanc ‘Red C’ | Lake County, California | 2025 | Kosher | Kosher for Passover

Wine Spectator: 88 Points (2022 prior vintage) — Intensely mouthwatering, with bright acidity and tangy lemon-centered citrus flavors, revealing fresh ginger, yuzu and lemongrass notes.

Covenant Wines is one of California's most respected kosher producers, founded by Morgan Lee and Jeff Morgan with a mission to make world-class wine that happens to be kosher — not kosher wine that happens to be drinkable. The Red C label represents the estate's premium tier: non-mevushal, crafted with the same attention to sourcing and winemaking as any serious California white, and certified kosher under the highest standards.

The 2025 Sauvignon Blanc is sourced from Lake County, a high-elevation appellation north of Napa Valley known for its volcanic soils, intense sunlight and cool nights. These conditions produce Sauvignon Blanc with exceptional aromatic intensity, bright natural acidity and a clean, focused character. The wine is vinified to preserve the variety's signature freshness — crisp, aromatic and built for the table.

The nose is vibrant and expressive, with aromas of guava, passionfruit, lemon zest, yuzu and fresh ginger, accented by lemongrass and white flowers. The palate is lively and mouthwatering, with tangy citrus flavors, bright acidity and a clean, mineral-driven finish. Approachable on release and best enjoyed young while its freshness is at its peak.

Versatile and food-friendly. Pairs beautifully with oysters, shellfish, grilled fish, sushi, goat cheese, green salads, roasted vegetables, chicken and light pasta dishes. An excellent choice for Shabbat, Passover and year-round celebrations.

Expert Review - Vintage 2021

Wine Spectator 92 Points | This graceful, lighter bodied Chardonnay rested in neutral French oak for 12 months after partial malo. It is brisk and tangy, with aromas and flavors of peach skins, lemon drops, chamomile, green tea and chalk. This nimble wine wants to tango, and you should accept.

Winemaker Description 

This exquisite wine, crafted from grapes harvested in both Dundee Hills and Eola-Amity Hills, offers a delightful journey into Oregon's terroir. With a harmonious balance achieved through 12 months of aging in neutral French oak, it presents flavors of the region's ripe fruit, supported by subtle oak influence. Limited to just 200 cases, this small production showcases the artistry of winemaking and the unique qualities of this vintage.

Gundlach Bundschu | Chardonnay | Sonoma Coast AVA | 2024 | Organically Grown

Wine Enthusiast: 90 Points — Soft and charming aromas of Meyer lemon, green pear, chalky minerality and spice mélange. The palate brings a pop of fresh acidity, with flavors of apple skin, nectarine, pineapple sage and citrus blossoms through the meandering finish. —Tom R. Capo

Gundlach Bundschu is one of California's oldest continuously family-owned wineries, founded in 1858 and farming the same Rhinefarm estate vineyard at the crossroads of Sonoma Valley and Carneros for six generations. Today the estate is Regenerative Organic Certified®, a commitment that goes beyond conventional organic farming to encompass soil health, ecosystem restoration and long-term land stewardship. The Sonoma Coast Chardonnay is sourced from cool-climate vineyards along the Pacific-influenced Sonoma Coast AVA, where marine fog and ocean breezes extend the growing season and preserve the natural acidity and freshness that define the appellation's best whites.

The 2024 is vinified to balance the variety's natural richness with the bright, mineral-driven character of the Sonoma Coast. The nose opens with crisp green apple, Meyer lemon and ripe pear, accented by chalky minerality, honey and a whisper of spice. The palate is lively and well structured, with flavors of nectarine, preserved lemon peel, pineapple sage and citrus blossom, carried by bright acidity and a subtle touch of oak through a clean, lingering finish.

Serve at 50–54°F. Pairs beautifully with chicken piccata, roasted squash, grilled fish, shellfish, light pasta with cream or herb sauces and fresh cheeses.

Critical Acclaim

• James Suckling – 92 Points | “Grapefruit, lemongrass and golden apples on the nose, alongside salted almonds. Medium-bodied, cool and mineral, with zesty and reductive undertones. Made in clay vessels.”

Tasting Notes

A racy, flavoursome Sauvignon Blanc with green pineapple, gooseberries, and quince on the nose, alongside a refreshing salinity of ocean spray and kelp. The palate delivers green citrus, lemongrass, and litchi, with an edgy textural linearity from flint and oyster shells. Cool, mineral, and utterly distinctive.

About the Wine

The Amphora Sauvignon Blanc is part of the Gabriëlskloof Range — a selection of boutique-style wines from this acclaimed Bot River estate that consistently over-deliver on quality and value. True to its name, this wine is fermented and aged in clay amphora vessels, a winemaking technique that preserves freshness and imparts a unique mineral texture without the influence of oak. The result is a Sauvignon Blanc of striking individuality and coastal character.

Food Pairing

A natural match for oysters, grilled linefish, sushi, ceviche, and fresh goat cheese. Serve well chilled.

Expert Review — Vintage 2021

Decanter 96 Points (Clive Pursehouse) | "Quite the Chardonnay from Brianne Day and the renowned Eola Springs Vineyard in the best Chardonnay appellation in America." Three different blocks and three different clones: Hyde Wente, Mount Eden, and Dijon 96. Captivating lemon curd aromas and rich, honeyed apricots followed by almond pastry cream — dollops of rich lemon cream, ripe peach fuzz, and rich apricot flesh.

Winemaker Notes

Brianne Day chose three blocks and three clones from the gorgeous Eola Springs Vineyard in the Eola-Amity Hills to get to know the site intimately. Hyde Wente and Mount Eden (California heritage clones) were picked earlier for structure and acid; Dijon 96 was picked later for stone fruit and riper character.

The result is lively, lithe, and built on a solid mineral structure with a supple, glossy mid-palate. Lemon curd, peaches, river stones, lime zest, sweet orange, honeysuckle, and a hint of pastry all come to mind.

Tasting & Pairings

Lemon curd, honeyed apricot, almond pastry cream, peach fuzz, river stones, lime zest, and honeysuckle. Lively and lithe with mineral structure and a glossy mid-palate. Serve lightly chilled.

• Lobster or crab with drawn butter — the wine’s richness and acidity are a perfect match.
• Roasted chicken with tarragon — a classic pairing for textured, mineral-driven Chardonnay.
• Aged Comté or Gruyère — nutty cheeses complement the pastry cream and stone fruit notes.
