This expertly blended white wine combines lush fruit-forward flavors with nuanced complexity, making it a standout choice among premium Sauvignon Blancs.

Aromas of fresh Meyer lemon and white blossoms burst from the glass, while the palate unfolds with bright stone fruit notes like ripe white peach and zesty grapefruit, balanced by hints of elderflower and jasmine.

Celebrated by critics including James Suckling (92 points) for its tangy finish and creamy mouthfeel, Wine Advocate (91 points) highlights its plump texture and fume-style elegance, while Wine Spectator (90 points) praises its vibrant ginger and pomelo-driven profile. Ideal for al fresco gatherings or intimate dinners, this wine delivers layered complexity that lingers long after each sip.

Stags’ Leap Winery’s 2022 vintage is a testament to Napa Valley’s terroir, offering both immediate enjoyment and cellar potential for those who prefer to age their bottles. A versatile companion to seafood or light fare, this Sauvignon Blanc stands apart with its savory-mineral finish and expertly balanced acidity—a must-try for lovers of sophisticated California whites seeking a unique alternative to everyday blends.
