AVA DESIGNATED: Oakville, Napa Valley
WHAT WE TASTED: The Yount Ridge Vineyard is high in natural acidity resulting in a fresh and vibrant wine with expressive aromas and flavors of citrus, peach, mango, jasmine and tropical pineapple. But there's steely flint and florals with a hint of grass, making what we say "something for everyone in this elegant wine." A touch of oak adds creamy brioche and an ultra long finish.
WHAT WE PAIRED:
- Lobster tortelloni, Sauce Américaine, Himeji mushrooms, Spinach side
- Grilled grouper with remoulade sauce and mango slaw
- Raw Oysters, mint-cilantro mignonette
- Thai quinoa salad with lime and chili
- Argentine Provaleta
PERSONALITY: The absolute best Sauv Blanc on the planet! A rarity for Oakville. Ultra luxury wineries want these grapes. Philippe Melka has pulled grapes from this very special vineyard. Cult wineries want them. You betcha!
TECHNICAL:
- Aged 6 months in 70% new French Oak
- Only 150 cases
