2009 Napa Station Napa Valley Sauvignon Blanc
One 750ml bottle
At Napa Station, sustainable farming and meticulous grape selection form the core of the winemaking philosophy. Their Sauvignon Blanc is sourced from several districts within Napa Valley, including Oak Knoll, Rutherford and Los Carneros, each of which contribute to its flavor profile. Sorted, whole cluster pressed, then fermented in stainless steel tanks and neutral French oak barrels, this wine hasn't undergone any malolactic fermentation. Aromas of bright citrus, ripe pear, melon and fig flavors all add to the richness and complexity in the glass. The round mid-palate along with the refreshing acidity enhances the balanced mouthfeel with a pleasing finish.
