In the August 2015 edition of Wine Enthusiast, 1865 Single Vineyard made an impression, receiving a new acknowledgment for its Leyda Valley Sauvignon Blanc 2014.
The wine scored 90 points in the acclaimed North American magazine, upon evaluation by Michael Schachner, the wines editor for Spain, Argentina and Chile. He also remarked that the wine was truly representative of the grape variety, coming from the Las Gaviotas vineyard, just 3.6 kilometers from the Pacific Ocean.
In his tasting notes, the wine is described in the following way: “Snappy aromas of briny citrus fruits, jalapeño and bell pepper leave no doubt that this is Leyda Sauv Blanc. The palate is minerally and crisp, with juicy acidity. Flavors of lime, pickle brine, gooseberry and wet stone finish elegant and pure, with cleansing acidity”.
