Boya Viña Garcés Silva Sauvignon Blanc 2016, Leyda Valley, Chile: This 2016 Sauvignon Blanc is made in the Leyda region in Chile. Boya Vineyards are influenced by the Pacific Ocean's moderating and cooling breezes bringing cool temperatures and allowing grapes to slowly ripen and develop their character. These cooling breezes also bring a salty tang to the grapes from the sea. Love the salty finish here! Boya Sauvignon Blanc has been cold-fermented with no malolactic fermentation. Crisp and refreshing, with herbal and lime citrus notes. Medium-bodied with good acidity. Pair with fresh shellfish and seafood. Drink: 2017-2018. 389726 12.50% XD 750 mL $15.95 Score: 89/100.

Loaded with black pepper, fleshy dark fruit, mouth-watering action and layers of lip-smacking flavours. This wine was matured in French oak and made from 100% Graciano, a native Spanish grape enjoying a resurgence in popularity. This is modern and complex Rioja red wine. Pair with lamb and rosemary.
