Mission Codename Big Shoes
Today’s Matanzas Creek Winery 2012 Helena Bench Knights Valley Sauvignon Blanc was awarded 90 points by Antonio Galloni. If you’re anything like our Agent Red, after one taste you’ll start wondering if 90 points was high enough!
This fantastic Sauvignon Blanc is crisp and lively, with plenty of fresh white fruit and citrus notes combined with a savory, layered complexity that takes this wine to another level entirely. The fruit is 100% sourced from the volcanic soil of the Helena Bench Vineyard, which, combined with the exceptional 2012 growing season, allowed the grapes to develop and ripen to absolute perfection.
Enjoy today’s delightful wine with our boldest recommendation.
