To our delight, a handful of them said yes. The Core Collection was born, quickly becoming some of the highest rated, best-selling items in our store. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWe consider these the most dependable set of wines in America – crowd-pleasing, “always the right answer” bottles that deliver better everyday value than just about anything in the country.

A 100% Sauvignon Blanc program developed over decades, this is a true \u003cem\u003ecrème de la crème\u003c\/em\u003e marriage of world-class fruit, deft winemaking technique, and old-school sensibility. Priced at $40 direct from the winery, part of our negotiations included declassifying the label from Dry Creek to Sonoma County, which means this magnificent refresher that showcases the region's signature complexity and intensity is now available at an incredible \u003cem\u003eBottle Shop price\u003c\/em\u003e of only… \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cs\u003e$16\/bottle\u003c\/s\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e $13.60\/bottle with the New Release Discount!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eIn 2024, Dry Creek’s hallmark diurnal swing was on full display: warm, clear days gave way to cool, foggy evenings that allowed Sauvignon Blanc grapes to retain ample acidity while reaching full ripeness. The region’s well-draining gravelly soils moderated vine vigor and concentrated varietal character. After harvest, the bunches were whole-cluster pressed and fermented in stainless steel, with a portion in neutral oak – a combination of vessels that let the terroir shine while also adding a delicate textural frame. Occasional lees stirring imbued the wine with a subtle richness to complement its natural vibrancy.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA vivid, bright nose announces itself with Meyer lemon, grapefruit, lime, eucalyptus, and garden herbs, all delineated across a strong mineral spine. The palate delivers on the promise of the nose: beautifully textured and weighted, the wine unleashes guava, lemon oil, and a saline thread, the juicy fruit held in check by acidity that is woven through with precision rather than imposed upon. Fumé-styled with light oak presence, this is an expressive, refined wine that finishes with a flicker of ginger spice and accents of wet stones, echoed by citrus oil, white florals, and herbs persisting with great length. Brilliant.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e13.8% alc\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"de Négoce","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56453996380326,"sku":"BTL.CC24SB","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0338\/3299\/2908\/files\/CCClaret-24SonomaCountySauvignonBlanc.png?v=1778262048","url":"https:\/\/www.denegoce.com\/products\/core-collection-2024-sonoma-county-sauvignon-blanc-750ml","provider":"de Négoce","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
