One of the best Napa Valley Sauvignon Blancs we've discovered. The Altamura Sauvignon Blanc comes from the winery's 4-acre 18-year-old dry-farmed vineyard which sits at an altitude of 850 feet. The wine is fermented and aged in new French oak barrels for 18 months resulting in a wine of great depth and complexity, displaying the flavor and textural profile more like a white Bordeaux than a California Sauvignon Blanc. Very limited production of 500 cases.

2014 - Since our 2010 taste and rating, this great Sau Blanc is still our favorite for this varietal; luscious, honey nectar bouquet and great body with just the right amount of acidity, mildly citrus and late harvest subtle sweetness. Will continue to buy and enjoy.
