BOW (8.25)

A stunning white wine, succulent, intense and complex, featuring fleshy nectarine, apricot and honey-drizzled ripe melon at the core, with litsea oil and lemon verbena aromatics that linger in the background. Bracing acidity cuts through this version's medium body, leaving a refreshing finish. Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon. Drink now through 2028.

The 2021 Les Lecons Des Maitres (80% Sauvignon Blanc and the rest Semillon) reveals ripe, savory aromas of lemon balm, ripe melon, baking spices, and fresh quince. This medium-bodied, stony textured white is citrus-driven on the palate, with Meyer lemon, lemon lime, and white flowers. It’s a wonderful, age-worthy Bordeaux Blanc style to drink 2025-2035.

Wine Enthusiast (95)

Apparently spiced with lightly toasted oak, this bracing and elegant wine was crafted by Bibiana Gonzalez Rave and her husband, Jeff Pisoni. It boasts vivid acidity, a touch of grippy tannin in the texture, and an attractive array of ginger, lemons, limes, kiwis and minerals. Made from 80% Sauvignon Blanc and 20% Semillon, it is distinctive, complex and flavorful.
