James Suckling, 92 Points
"A creamy-textured sauvignon blanc with sliced apple, lime and other citrus fruit. Medium to full body. Tangy finish. Need oysters with this! Drink now."
Wine Advocate, 91 Points
"The 2020 Sauvignon Blanc is made in a decidedly fume style, with notes of struck flint, smoky overtones and grassy-herbal elements, but also ripe fig and melon flavors. Aged in a mix of new (17%) and used French oak (53%), plus stainless steel (30%), it's medium to full-bodied, plump and silky in texture on the long finish. Best After 2022."
Wine Spectator, 90 Points
"Intense and vibrant, with mouthwatering fresh ginger, pomelo and lemon flavors. Reveals an appealing note of matchstick and minerality on the finish."
Winemaker Notes:
"This third vintage of Napa Valley Sauvignon Blanc is lovely and bright, offering the variety’s classic citrus fruit characteristics with notes of Meyer lemon and white blossoms. A lean backbone of racy acidity supported by a steely minerality adds to the wine’s crispness and complexity. On the palate, stone fruit notes of white peach, young plum, grapefruit and zesty lime peel are interwoven with hints of white jasmine and elderflower, as well as spicier ginger and white pepper notes, adding layers and depth to the round, soft texture, leading to a lengthy mouthwatering finish. Elegant and savory, this Sauvignon Blanc is a beautiful expression of Napa Valley fruit, and the perfect thirst-quencher when dining al fresco, or enjoying on its own."
