Performing like a White Graves meets a Russian River Sauvignon Blanc, this is one of the top white wine values I've offered all year. We poured this one last Saturday. Started the day with 17 cases, ended the day with 8....
This is without a doubt the best Sauvignon Blanc for the money I've tasted in a long time. It will appeal to all lovers of the grape, but for those who like their Sauvignon Blancs a tad richer, you'll LOVE this one! Good news, you don't have to be rich to enjoy this one! This joint venture between Frenchman Andre Lurton and Argentinian Andres Blanchard is ridiculously good for the price.

It's hard to put into words how great of a value this wine is. Put together by a dream team of vignerons, this is "built" like a White Bordeaux. 95% Sauvignon Blanc and 5% Semillon fermented and aged in cement eggs, it is such a classy white at such a fair price.
From the chalky, volcanic soils of the Uco Valley at the base of the Andes, this is Argentina's first winery to only focus on white wine. It shouldn't surprise you that this is such a wonderful wine. Andre Lurton comes from one of the "first families of Bordeaux," and Andres Blanchard is one of the hottest young vignerons of the Southern Hemisphere.
When you combine their talents and instincts, you get wines like this one. This should sell for $25+, but it's still pretty under-the-radar. Offering up focused and precise notes of green fig, ripe apple and citrus, pear skin, and mineral, this is Argentina's answer to White Bordeaux.
Buy a six-pack folks....unless you just don't like white wine. You'll be more than pleased with your purchase. Until next time, cheers to happy drinking and eating in the AVL!
