Its bright natural acidity is juicy and thirst-quenching, while complex aromatics and lifted flavors of grapefruit and citrusy lime are accented beautifully by wet stone minerality.

"There is a key lime pie, citrusy note to the nose of the 2021 Trione Sauvignon Blanc. The aroma brings you in with an invitation to taste. The palate is crisp but silky with lingering hints of honeysuckle blossom, lemon meringue competing with a sandy salinity of a cool ocean breeze. This wine will pair with an endless number of seafood dishes as well as savory soft cheeses. Enjoy!" —winemaker

Wine Anthology Team Review- A bottle that encompasses everything you love about a California Sauvignon Blanc.
Full of citrus and floral notes with a firm backbone of minerality that gives this wine a smooth and flavorful punch that goes hand in hand with many seafood dishes. From the Russian River Valley of Sonoma (known for Chardonnay and Pinot Noir) this wine is a classic entry from a superb producer.

"Clos de Napa Sauvignon Blanc boasts aromas that brim with tropical fruit and citrus notes intertwined with nuances of white flowers. On the palate there are intense layers of pineapple, grapefruit, tangerine and orange blossom." —winemaker
