(Avennia Sauvignon Blanc Oliane) Hello friends. Avennia has moved from rising star to vaguely culty to established superstar in a very short amount of time. We consider ourselves lucky to have been supporters of Chris Peterson and Marty Taucher from the start; it means our list members get access to some of his rarer bottlings. And while the rarer bottlings—like Arnaut below—are exciting, the entire lineup is consistently impressive. The house style retains the character of Washington’s terroir and yet presents this sense of ribald, euro-styled earthiness that is a bit more unusual in these climes. These are stunning, ageworthy wines, and they continually offer excellent value compared to their peer groups in quality. Jeb Dunnuck: Copyrighted material withheld. This wine is balanced indeed, something that isn’t always true of new world Sauvignon Blanc. 70% Boushey Vineyard, 30% Red Willow Vineyard, it’s barrel fermented with native yeast and aged on the lees for 7 months in a mixture of French oak (only 5% new) and concrete. It opens with a mix of lemon, white peach, grapefruit pith, and minerals, all layered with touches of lemon meringue and marzipan. The palate has density and impact—but with only 12.5% alcohol and rippin’ acidity—nothing is weighed down. This is a truly beautiful take on Bordeaux Blanc, full of lessy goodness and pulsating intensity.

Golden yellow peach. Sign of apples. Tad of oak. High acidity.

Lemon, grapefruit, apple skin, fantastic texture, cream, vanilla and perfect balance. This is drinking very well right now despite the challenging year.

The surprisingly toasty nose wafts otherwise true to type aromas of zesty and mineral-driven lemon and lime, orchid, sweet tangerine, nectarine and apricot. Medium body with plush, grippy acid, it offers a focused combination of tangerine, white peach, white pepper and dried apricot. It finishes with citrus pith. Give this a good 2-3 years of aging as it's still tight.

Revisiting Washington (Woodinville): Interesting white wine. It's a bit less ripe in style. Slightly green. Not overdone. Feels balanced. Drinks well.
