One if our fav Napa Sauvignon Blancs. Consistently delicious w balance and minerality. Seems to be a standard at Market St Helena.

Decisions decisions… Both very comparable styles. Salvestrin is a St Helena Suav Blanc with fruit derived from the foothills and elaborated by a female winemaker, it’s got great balance and composure. Very elegant on the palate, it has this sublime honeysuckle component somewhere in the mid palate.

Pronounced grapefruit on the aromatic lead followed by faint impressions of dried chamomile and dried green herbs. Lovely scent on this one as it warms in the glass. Palate presents a pleasingly rich texture, grapefruit pith and tart citrus oil - definitely a warmer #sauvignonblanc at 14.4% ABV but it’s well-balanced here.
