Easy drinking low acidity Sauv Blanc from Napa. Good citrus notes and a floral quality give freshness while pitted fruit gives depth. Very tasty.

A rich styled Sauv Blanc from historic Napa vines, yet it retains good freshness. Very smooth finish.

One is the greatest American Sauvignon Blanca ever produced. Amazing weight, aromatics and great balance. 150 cases produced from heritage vines transplanted from 1940s To Kalon plantings grafted on to St. George rootstock.

If a white deserve 100 this is it. Clean pure fruit, minerality, firm white peach, hard nectarine, zest of grapefruit and a kiss of oak this is there if you look for it yet not if you don't yet adds balance to the fresh and crisp wine. Drink now or in 29 years. This white can do it all.
