Neat wine with none of the usual green notes associated with Sauv. Blanc. Granny Smith apples with some lemon ginger and a soft yet crisp mouth feel. — 8 years ago

This is one of my all time classic go to wines that I discovered on one of my first visits to Napa. Just a solid medium bodied wine with red fruit balanced with a touch of age. Highly recommended. — 9 years ago

I like this wine. Rich and deep flavor, not just hitting around the periphery of the palate like a lot of sauvignon blancs. Great mineral structure. Even the color is slightly darker. Or maybe that's my imagination. — 8 years ago

Fresh, crisp, savory, with a bouncing streak of fine tannin. Exactly what I needed on a warm afternoon with squid salad and housemade sausage. Pinot noir of real character but also true elegance. — 8 years ago

Another stellar Champagne. Not quite to the level of the 99 Salon for me, but I think both are so good it is an individual preference matter. This was a little more on the yeasty side, with a little more brioche going on. — 9 years ago

Delamotte is the sister house to Salon. The Delamotte generally gets the grapes that do not go into Salon. The 07 while tasty is a little simple. Nice green apple, lemon/lime zest, grapefruit, grapefruit pit, touch oily, citrus blossoms, nice minerality & acidity but missing the level of chalk you'd expect. Honey & butterscotch candy comes out as it sits in the glass awhile. — 8 years ago

Precocious and fresh, redolent of honeycomb-spiked alfalfa and white citrus blossoms. Tangerine and honeydew flirting on the nose. Pomace stone baseline.
👉🏻On the palate: Nice, brisk, lime-y acidity, with piquant minerality hovering over a jalapeño jelly soupçon. Padrones, vetiver and 7-Up. Lemongrass and musk. Smile.
👉🏻Finish lingers, in spite of the generally zippy nature of this one. Takeaway is confidence--in crafting a laser-focused but still fun Sauvignon, and a general craving for ceviche, beach breezes and long, unfettered afternoons. — 9 years ago
