93 POINTS from a Master Sommelier, on a Hawke's Bay Sauvignon Blanc that tastes like a Pacific summer refuses to end — 60% OFF retail, just $10!

93 POINTS. TEN DOLLARS. How’s THAT for a one-two combo to the dome?! Cameron Douglas – one of a literal handful of Master Sommeliers in the entire Southern Hemisphere – slapped a 93 on this Hawke’s Bay beauty, and we’re pouring it for ONE…SINGLE…Alexander Hamilton!!! (That’s a ten dollar bill for the presidentially challenged.) The fruit comes off Mangatahi, one of the highest and oldest vineyard sites in the region, planted on ancient alluvial shingle terraces high above the Ngaruroro River, where blistering daytime sun crashes headlong into steep overnight temperature drops. Think of it as altitude training for grapes – the vines work harder during the day, rest and reset in the vinous equivalent of an ice bath overnight, and you get to drink the payoff. The complexity, the intensity, with fully ripe fruit that doesn’t sacrifice one iota of freshness…that’s your eternal reward!

Need more tangible results? How about green mango and white nectarine layered over quince and star fruit, with a whisper of fennel frond, and snapped celery keeping things savory instead of saccharine-sweet. The texture is where this one really earns its stripes – silky through the mid-palate, then a crushed-shell, wet-stone minerality kicks in with a briny snap on the finish that basically name-checks its cliffside, Pacific-facing home.

Consider this Endless Summer in a bottle – the 1966 surf classic, not the season – because while the calendar insists it’s fall, this Sauvignon Blanc has zero interest in cooling off…and the vibes here are SCORCHING! Pour it ice-cold next to a bowl of ahi poke and you’ll be chasing 80-degree afternoons clear into November. FREE SHIPPING on 6 makes stocking up a no-brainer, and at 93 points for TEN BUCKS, this is exactly the kind of moment you build a wine rack for.

While it lasts, people!

”An enticing fruit laden bouquet capturing scents of tropical fruits, peach, red apple and fresh green herbs. Grapefruit and stony mineral layers, basil and sage, moments of passionfruit and pear. Delicious on the palate with a satin texture, core acid line, white peach and lemon, tropical fruits and spice. Well made, lengthy and ready to drink from day of purchase through end of summer 2026.” -Cameron Douglas, MS

"Sauvignon Blanc lovers are going to revel in this wine's bright, fragrant notes of ocean sea grass, kiwi, and spicy jalapeño oil that lift from the glass. Fizzy, zippy acidity creates an electric palate expression, building with lemon-lime character and underripe pineapple notes through the tart acid finish." -Tasting Panel

"Rather steely with some fresh herb and lemon aromas and flavors. Medium-bodied with crisp acidity and grapefruit notes. Tangy at the end. Drink now. Screw cap." -James Suckling
