2010 St. Supéry Napa Valley Sauvignon Blanc 750ml
Two vineyards - one in Rutherford at the heart of Napa Valley's Cabernet Sauvignon country, the other, Dollarhide, in a serene corner of Napa Valley - are the source of St. Supéry wines, most notably, celebrated Cabernet Sauvignons and Sauvignon Blanc.
St. Supery Vineyards & Winery is owned by the Skalli family of France. Robert Skalli's family has made wine for several generations in South of France. While traveling in Napa Valley during the 1970s, Robert was inspired to create an estate winery in Napa Valley to make wines of distinct and respectable character. Dollarhide, an historic cattle and horse ranch nestled among the hills of Napa Valley, was planted with the noble grape varieties of Bordeaux, France in the early 1980s. St. Supéry's Rutherford property became the home of the winery and first class Cabernet Sauvignon vineyards.
Today St. Supéry wines are enjoyed by people around the world in fine restaurants and during celebrations at home. The winery is a respected member of the Napa Valley vintner community and is a responsible steward of the 1500+ acres we own in this appellation known to be among the finest wine regions in the world.
WINE & SPIRITS RATING: 91WINE & SPIRITS REVIEW: Grown at St. Supéry's Dollarhide Ranch in the hills of Pope Valley, this 2010 achieved substantial flavor depth. Its bold passionfruit flavors are rich and mouthwatering, balanced by pungent acidity that sustains the wine's structural power. Best enjoyed in the company of equally substantial foods, such as lobster or roast veal." And from Wine Spectator: "Lemongrass, green apple, lemon and lime zest notes are intense, mouthwateringly juicy, and a bit pungent, with plenty of focus. A smooth mouthful of ripe melon flavors chimes in on the finish. Drink now.
