Sampling Selection #1:
2024 Matahiwi Estate Sauvignon Blanc
$12.99 on sale
New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc remains one of the most popular categories, and this bottling checks all the boxes! 
This is the definition of a springtime "Porch Pounder" with its subtle aromatics and crisp, easy drinking style.
Every fan of Sancerre or higher-end California Sauvignon Blanc will flip for this. Fresh citrus fruit leads the way with bright acidity and a linear, almost chalky mineral finish.
"This crisply styled, refreshing wine has a wonderful combination of lime, passionfruit and gooseberry aromas with a hint of minerality – typical stylish Sauvignon Blanc! We love to drink it with seafood and pasta dishes and delicious summer salads. While this wine is ready to drink now, it can also be cellared for up to two years." - Winery

Sampling Selection #2:
2023 Don Cristobal Organic Malbec
$19.99 on sale
Argentinian Malbec is rapidly gaining popularity for its dark fruit flavors and full-b odied mouthfeel. This organic version from Don Cristobal is a perfect representation of what everyone is looking for in Malbec.
It has an intense red color, with market violet tones. Aromatically explosive, where aromas of plum, blackberry, and cherry are evident, accompanied by floral notes such as violet. On the palate, it presents a sweet entrance, balanced acidity, and hints of red fruits that provide a long and pleasant finish.
This is a wine that every Malbec fan will fall in love with!
93 Points Decanter:
"Lovely purple flowers and blue fruits on the nose, with floral and chocolate nuances. Lovely tension and vibrant acidity."
-------
Sampling Selection #3:
2020 Watermill Cabernet Sauvignon
$19.99 on sale
95 point Cabernet at this price is unheard of! 
The Walla Walla Valley is the premier spot for Cabernet Sauvignon in Washington, famous for creating full-bodied and bold Cabs that are true crowd pleasers.
Watermill's 2020 bottling is truly stunning, and every fan of big Napa Cabs will find a reasonably priced alternative here!
95 Points Decanter:
"Absorbing herbal cassis, tobacco and mocha notes trail from the nose and linger over the stately oak-led structure. Long and engaging and full of well-honed varietal character."
-------
Sampling Selection #4:
2022 Clos Puy Arnaud Castillon Cotes De Bordeaux
$29.99 on sale
This will be the star of the tasting table this weekend. Everybody needs to come down to try this stunning 95-point Bordeaux!
Clos Puy Arnaud is a Merlot-based blend with a complexity that you typically don't find at this price point. Medium to full-bodied with ripe yet structured tannins, balancing generous dark fruit with freshness and a saline, mineral-driven finish.
This is a style of Bordeaux that we love, approachable now but will also last a decade plus in the cellar! Don't miss out on this!
95 Points Jane Anson, Inside Bordeaux:
"Tasted at the Palmères de Castillon event, where I was a jury member, and this was one of the wines picked out blind. I checked it against a different bottle at home later, and suggest that it is given at least half an hour in a carafe, as it remains fairly closed, but once again this is proof of the quality of 2022, and it's a seriously impressive wine that offers wonderful value. I'm always a fan of Clos Puy Arnaud, and you get the deft precision of the winemaking here, coupled with ripe blueberry and raspberry fruits, liquorice, black tea, pomegranate and slate-scrape tannins."
94 Points Antonio Galloni, Vinous:
"The 2022 Clos Puy Arnaud is a dense, extroverted wine. Inky dark fruit, licorice, menthol and cloves are all amplified. Usually Clos Puy Arnaud is more refined, but in 2022, the vintage dominates and speaks loudly. Even so, this is a compelling offering. I look forward to tasting it with bottle age."
