Echo Bay Vineyard Rigour & Whimsy Pinot Blanc Echo Bay Vineyard - Rigour & Whimsy Pinot Blanc, Canada  13%  750 mL. January 1, 2018 Full Review
Boya Sauvignon Blanc 2024, Leyda Valley D.O., Chile: From the Coast Zone, Leyda Valley wine region, Boya 2024 Sauvignon Blanc is an excellent value. Produced by Garcés Silva, this juicy, fresh SB is vegan friendly and produced from sustainably grown grapes. The Boya Vineyards are cooled by the moderated breezes off the Pacific Ocean giving the grapes time to slowly ripen and fully develop. These cooling breezes also bring a salty tang to the grapes. The wine was fermented in stainless steel tank giving extra freshness to its generous lime zest, gooseberry, melon and tropical fruit flavours finishing mouth-wateringly long on the palate on an herbal and briny mineral note. In other words, it is delicious! Chill and enjoy it through 2026. Drink: 2024-2026. 389726 12.50% XD 750 mL  $15.95 Score: 90/100. May 24, 2025 Best Value White Wine.
