RuddMt. Veeder Estate Sauvignon Blanc 2020- Special Priced 3-Pack

Recently tasted, this White, like the preeminent Whites coming out of Bordeaux, will only benefit with time- thus, the reason why it sells out each year before the next vintage release. At 1600 feet in elevation, it is an anomaly to find Sauvignon Blanc grown on such exceptional Mt. Veeder soil. Yet when vintner Leslie Rudd was first figuring out what to plant on their newly acquired land, he reached out to Didier Dagueneau, long considered one of the best Sauvignon Blanc producers in the world to ask him to visit the property. Immediately upon his visit, Didier told Leslie that the soil reminded him of his own in France's Loire Valley and with careful farming, he could produce exceptional Sauvignon Blanc and that is exactly what Leslie did despite knowing that he would never get the value of his land from farming a White instead of a Napa Valley Red. Crisp and focused, this 2020 Estate Sauvignon Blanc fills the glass with aromas of citrus  and a hint of tropical notes, which are incredibly enticing and familiar from vintage to vintage with this wine. “Energetic and focused, this youthful wine is uniquely intriguing. On the palate, one finds the brightness of fresh kiwi fruit alongside lemon and lime citrus. This vivid acidity is balanced by a mineral salinity and depth that carries the midpalate through to the finish.”
