The wine opens with vivid tropical aromas of white flowers, ripe melon, and sweet citrus. The citrus and tropical characters extend onto the palate with ripe guava and crisp pink grapefruit, balanced by bright acidity and accented by a flinty vein of minerality. This is a zesty wine that stands up well to shrimp, crab, grilled vegetables and is perfect for a cheese plate!
We seek out sauvignon blanc grapes from top-flight vineyards throughout Napa Valley, including, from south to north, our own estate ranches in Carneros, Suscol Springs, Rutherford, and Calistoga. The cooler, windswept southern reaches of the valley give us sauvignon blanc with bright citrus characters, flinty minerality, and balanced acidity, while the warmer northern sites bring out tropical notes. Blended together, these vineyards showcase the range of expression sauvignon blanc achieves across the region’s finest growing areas.
