Stags Leap Napa Sauvignon Blanc

The 2022 Napa Valley Sauvignon Blanc is bright, crisp, and refreshing with aromatic notes of white peach, lemon verbena, lime peel and white elderflower floral blossom on the nose. More subtle notes of brioche toast and biscuit crumb support the lively fruit (a nod to the subtle oak influence) alongside a delicate mineral flintiness. The palate is rich, creamy, and round with notes of Meyer lemon, green apple, lime pith, cassis bud, and lychee. There is a zippy, racing acidity throughout, creating a mouthwatering texture and lively backbone that carries all the way through to the lip-smacking, crisp, finish.The length is long, perfumed, and complex with layers of white peach, lanolin, white floral musk, and hints of white pepper. This is the perfect summer sipper, making it an ideal accompaniment to crudités, charcuterie, and aperitivo-style dining.92pts James Suckling- Lime zest, green pear, and faint white flowers followed by nettles and box tree with an underlying flint and matchbox minerality. Medium-bodied, crisp acidity. Impressive freshness. Citrusy and tangy finish. Drink now.
