15th Valley Sauvignon Blanc 201915th Valley Sauvignon Blanc 2019 Marlborough
Pungent, fresh, vibrant and varietal with aromas of passion fruit and lemon, pineapple and mango. An herbaceous bouquet also reveals scents of basil and lemongrass, wet stone and pear. On the palate, fresh and juicy with flavours that reflect the nose, significant acidity and satin texture, balanced and well made. A lengthy finish. Drink now and through 2022. 91 Points, Cameron Douglas, MS
Noticeably better than our usual Cupcake Sauvignon Blanc. Really. I mean it. And I’m really into wine. — Karen

The color is ruby red with violet highlights. The bouquet is fruit-forward with notes of currants, raspberries, blackberries and prunes. The flavor is well-balanced with sweet tannins and good acidity. Pairs well with appetizers, pastas, white meats, red meats and roasts.”
2019 Umathum Rosa Rosé 750ML
2019 Umathum Rosa Rosé 750MLA serious rosé from Austria’s three main varieties: Blaufränkisch, Sankt Laurent and Zweigelt. One of the top-selling rosés here at Biagio (thanks to the folks next door at Lost Hairdressers!!)
The grapes grow on gravel and schist soils in Frauenkirchen and Jois (about an hour south of Vienna) on vines that are up to 43 years old. Manual harvest in September and October is followed by a cold soak and a bleed-off (“saignee”) of the juice that then ferments and evolves in steel tanks. It’s bottled with one of those cool glass capsules that insures the integrity of the wine better than cork and looks more impressive than a screwcap.
707 Sonoma County Chardonnay
707 Sonoma County ChardonnayThis aromatic Chardonnay comes from the Sonoma Coast and Russian River Valley regions of Sonoma County. This cooler weather Chardonnay shows off plenty of style. This delicate wine is full of understated sophistication.
TASTING NOTES:
The 707 Chardonnay is a honeyed, golden-yellow color. The aromas are reminiscent of green apples, vanilla bean, and apricots. The layered flavors are smooth and silky, with intricate textures to include tropical fruits and a large dash of citrus freshness. The wine is has a sparkling acidity that makes the flavors light and lively, yet also rich with vanilla-laced oak tones with a hint of caramel. The finish is bright, delectable and decidedly food friendly.

Grapes: Schiava 100%
Alcohol: 12.5%
Ratings: ★★★★ 1/2 (out of five)
• Profile: ★★★★ 1/2
• Food-friendliness: ★★★★ 1/2
• Value: ★★★★ 1/2
Perfect for: Easy sipping while watching a thunderstorm on a summer’s night.
Tasting Notes: Brilliant ruby red in color. Quite light and thin in body, with a soft, uncomplicated nose of cherry. On the palate, it bursts with Rainier cherry, almond extract and a light trace of white flower, such as honeysuckle. Really pleasant texture that is silky yet nicely sticks to the tongue. Pairs well with anything you’d normally pair to a Pinot Noir.
