Clos de Napa Stags Leap Sauvignon Blanc 2020

"Chalk Hill Sauvignon Blanc opens with aromas of lemongrass, grapefruit, and fresh flowers. The palate is vibrant and rich with beautiful notes of tropical fruits, grapefruit, and a clean minerality on the finish." —winemaker

"The wine is day bright, pale yellow in color with a significant green tinge. The nose is stuffed with Asian Pear, Grapefruit, Granny Smith Apple and fresh cut grass. Additional mineral notes of river rock with white flower that speaks of hibiscus. In the mouth comes brilliant acidity which hold up the flavors we find on the nose with the addition of orange flower water and very ripe fig on the persistent finish." —winemaker

"Racy pomelo, guava and lime join in chorus with a sweet pea note. A Honeycrisp apple by mouth, this exuberant youngster is of a seamless, delicate, and symmetrical weave." —winemaker

"Gooseberry, lychee, white flowers on the nose. Crisp acidity, with soft but rich mouthfeel, ripe pineapple, crisp pear, gooseberry finish. Albariño, Malvasia Bianca and Chardonnay blended in." —winemaker

"This wine offers an authentic expression of cooler-climate Sauvignon Blanc. 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. The elegant, textured mouthfeel leads to a clean, crisp finish." —winemaker

"The lush and alluring Sauvignon Blanc reveals aromas of lemon verbena, candied pineapple, lime and summer melon. On the palate it is silky and mouth-filling, with refreshing acidity framing the tantalizing citrus and tropical fruit flavors while carrying the wine to a long, focused finish." —winemaker

"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.

"In the glass the wine is the delicate color of pale straw. The nose hints at the classic Sauvignon Blanc flavors to follow: white peach, gooseberry, melon, guava, wildflowers, and damp slate. Fruit forward and crisp, this rich and mineral-driven wine exhibits balanced acidity with a satisfyingly long finish." —winemaker
