91 pts Wine Enthusiast

This young winery had a fast pass to the big leagues thanks to their collab with winemaking dream team Phillipe Melka and Maayan Koschitzky of Atelier Melka; the brains of top Napa names like Screaming Eagle, Dalla Valle and Vineyard 29. If you want a hint at the quality of this Sauvignon Blanc, look to Phillipe and Maayan’s new and thriving small production, La Pelle, whose Sauvignon Blanc is already garnering 95 pt scores and a cult-following. It hit the market with a best price of $44… Reviewers are putting La Pelle Sauv Blanc squarely in the discussion as the best of California!

You might be thinking… these two wines are at opposite ends of the price spectrum… how can you compare?? Well, it’s the skill and resulting quality always provided by our favorite winemaking team that translates in both whites. I easily recognize Andis Wines as having some of the best and most accessible Zinfandels, Primitivo, and now whites. The Andis Sauvignon Blanc also differs from La Pelle in the blend, which adds 15% of well-rounded, Old Vine Semillon… the complexity of fruit is delish! The acidity is maintained and flippin’ mouth-watering… So fresh and I thought even a little tropical… at least I feel like downing this in some tropical weather. We’ll have to settle for our 60 degree NC sunshine… I’m not complaining!

“Ripe, rounded and full bodied, this wine offers ripe apple and pear flavors that are especially mouth-filling. The addition of 15% Sémillon may account for that. A tangy foundation of acidity keeps it well balanced.” WE

“One of our favorite times of the year is just after harvest when the white wines are done fermenting and still in the tanks. They're chilled to the low 40's to keep them fresh and stable and fill the cellar with beautiful aromas. Cold fermented in stainless steel for 6 weeks, the 2019 Sauvignon Blanc shows aromatics of lemon zest and fresh-cut pear that lead to crisp flavors of grapefruit and a hint of peaches. Serve this wine chilled alongside seafood, light pasta dishes, and chicken with basil and garlic. 85% Sauvignon Blanc - 15% Old Vine Semillon” Winery
