St. Supéry Estate Sauvignon Blanc ($22)

St. Supéry Estate Vineyards and Winery is a 100% Estate Grown, sustainably farmed winery located in the renowned Rutherford growing region in the heart of Napa Valley. Committed to producing the highest quality estate wines without compromise, they focus on sustainable winery and farming operations to protect the land and environment for future generations.

This wine from St. Supéry is 100% Sauvignon Blanc. After achieving the desired flavors on the vine, the Sauvignon Blanc was harvested in the cool morning hours in an effort to preserve the delicate flavors. The fruit was received in the cellar, where the grapes were pressed to tank and immediately chilled and settled prior to fermentation. All fermentation was completed in stainless steel tanks at cool temperatures to maintain and enhance the natural flavors. The final blend was completed soon thereafter to capture the lovely fresh qualities and intensity of flavor of the Sauvignon Blanc.

The St. Supéry Sauvignon Blanc is pale straw in color and has the expected aromas of grapefruit and lime. What was unexpected was the richness and smoothness of this Sauvignon Blanc. While it has nice acidity it’s more delicate than other Sauvignon Blanc wines. I found this one to be very elegant and refined.

This is truly an amazing Sauvignon Blanc and worthy of being featured as a Behind the Cork™ Exceptional Wine. If you like Sauvignon Blanc, I think you’ll love this one! Cheers!
