Stag's Leap Wine Cellars
Aveta Napa Valley Sauvignon Blanc
Napa Valley, California, USA
Pale yellow, excellent clarity. Orange and grapefruit rind notes in nose. Peach with a hint of straw flavor, lactic and mineral notes in finish, ever so slightly chalky aftertaste. Bright lemon-citrus (orange-grapefruit) acidity at start of taste. A solid SB choice

Not.a.fan.at.all. No fruit or floral, mostly mineral. I picked this one because I had company coming over and was very disappointed. 😕

Founded in 1970 and considered one of the "first growths" of Napa Valley, SLWC produces renowned Wines from its historic Stags Leap District estate vineyards. Pale lemon with green edges, aromas of citrus and earthy herb. On the palate orange and grapefruit flavors with grassy tones, crisp and fresh. Good mouthfeel medium finish ending with lively acidity.

The plentiful ripe peach on the forefront on the palate transported me from this cold winter’s night to a warm summer afternoon

Absolutely loved this Sauv Blanc, it is so fresh. Pale greenish yellow to the eye with exuberant notes of perfectly ripe peach, mist and tropical fruits as well. The mouthfeel is just as exotic with vibrant acidity, hints of stone fruit, honeydew melon, guava, and a palpable finish. Napa Sauv Blanc in its most exotic façade.
