RAPAURA SPRINGS RESERVE SAUVIGNON BLANC 2025 Marlborough, South Island, New Zealand, sustainable 388421 (XD) 750 ml $23.95 2 Intense with a definitively Marlborough character, this is a Sauvignon Blanc with bold guava, passion fruit, lime, and a gorgeous saline quality to its minerality. Quite rich and mouth-filling, it will drink through 2028. [New Zealand International Wine Show did not include a tasting note.] Score: 96 (New Zealand International Wine Show, 2025) I SODI RISERVA CHIANTI CLASSICO 2021 DOCG, Tuscany, Italy 213074 (XD) 750 ml $24.95 2 95% Sangiovese, 5% Canaiolo.

Score: 96 (Decanter World Wine Awards, 2025) Aromatic & Flavourful

Full-bodied & Smooth
