“This is a terrific value in impeccably made Sauvignon Blanc” -Jeb Dunnuck

And that’s at FULL PRICE!

This is THE year-round Sauv Blanc you want in your glass. A perfect balance of creamy, weighty richness and zippy acidity and brightness.

Completely unique. Off the charts delicious. Great winemaker.

AND…the best part? NINETEEN DOLLARS.

Philip Holbrook may as well have winemaking in his bloodline. The grandson of Margrit Mondavi, he spent years as assistant winemaker at Nickel and Nickel, while also putting time in with Carlo and Dante Mondavi at RAEN.

Revik is his personal project. And the name comes from two old English words, “time” and “place”, and as they focus on single plots from top vineyards, it’s fitting.

These days they focus all that attention to one place - Saphi Vineyard in Coombsville. The grapes were whole cluster pressed into French oak barrels and fermented with native yeasts. So, unlike most stainless fermented SBs, this has a bit of a creamy mouthfeel to it. Although the oak remains neutral, without a heavy presence, and seems to give it just a kiss of spice and added weight.

As you probably know, 2023 was a baller vintage, and this reflects the perfect conditions. Clean stone fruits and papaya and pear accented by white flowers, crushed stone, and a whisper of spicy oak. It’s refreshing, bold, balanced and giving off much more expensive “fume” blanc style vibes. No need to spend $50-75 to get the same style.

Bargain priced at $19 and made in extremely small quantities means act fast to get yours.

92 Points – Decanter “A very intriguing nose of preserved lime, lychee, and peach cream, with a hint of vanilla from 10 months of ageing in French oak. Supple with the grace of ripe, round, and silky fruit underscored by zesty acidity and finishing with a river stone coolness, and pressed wildflowers. Drink 2025-2029.”

91 Points – Jeb Dunnuck “Sporting a light gold hue, the 2023 Sauvignon Blanc offers rockingly good notes of honeyed citrus, orange blossom, and minty herbs. It’s medium-bodied, with a concentrated, layered texture, nicely integrated acidity, and outstanding length. This is a terrific value in impeccably made Sauvignon Blanc that will have 2-4 years of prime drinking, although I see no need to delay gratification. Drink 2025-2028.”
