Beringer’s Napa Valley Sauvignon Blanc is a quintessential expression of this beautiful varietal and the depth of flavors it can exhibit. Winemaker Laurie Hook chooses complementary lots from AVAs up and down the Valley to craft a wine that is a hallmark expression of Napa Valley terroir. Laurie sent all the fruit directly to the press, to protect the varietal’s delicate aromas and flavors. To maintain the unique qualities each vineyard can display. The majority of the wine was cold-fermented, to preserve the fresh, bright fruit and acidity that this varietal generously offers. A small portion of the blend was aged in seasoned French barrels for six months, to underscore the sweet fruit and spice components.
From the winemaker – “The 2013 Napa Valley Sauvignon Blanc is an enticing wine with aromas of bright citrus zest, gooseberry and notes of white flowers. Flavors of lemon and tangerine zest are complemented by a bright acidity and round mouthfeel.”
This Sauvignon Blanc is delicious with many vegetarian dishes. Cheeses such as chevre and other fresh cheeses, Brie and other semi-soft cheeses, Swiss, Gouda and other mild, firm cheeses.
