One of the best Napa Valley Sauvignon Blancs we've discovered. The Altamura 2016 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.

Very light and refreshing, perfect for a hot summer day.

2016 - Honeysuckle, luscious bouquet; golden hue; great legs; viscous, lightly acidic, slightly late harvest, touch of citrus, light honey finish; still the best Sau Blanc there is, the one to beat; without a doubt!
