Made with no oak, this 100% Sauvignon Blanc shows the way the variety’s flavors develop in the winery’s estate vineyard in St. Helena. Those totally dry flavors are of Meyer lemons, lemongrass, melons, golden mangoes and perfectly ripe pears, and they are boosted by mouthwateringly crisp acidity. A lovely wine that shows how well Sauvignon Blanc can do in Napa’s flatlands that are unsuitable for Cabernet Sauvignon.——S.H.(11/1/2010)—— 90

This is quite a good Sauvignon Blanc, showing plenty of rich varietal character with none of the sweet candiness that can show up. Crisp and dry, it has long, deep flavors of citrus, spearmint, vanilla and honeysuckle. ——S.H.(2/1/2009)—— 90

This is an elegant Sauvignon Blanc that shows off the variety’s versatility. Only a small amount of oak has been added, allowing the bright citrus zest, fig and mineral flavors to shine through. Made from Oakville and Pope Valley grapes.——S.H.(12/1/2006)—— 89
