2006 Altamura Sauvignon Blanc - USA, California, Napa Valley (7/16/2009)
Took a bottle of this to sip on outside the Rutherford Grill Napa while waiting for our table…gorgeous bright golden yellow color; HUGE tropical and floral nose. Big SB, yet nicely balanced…better as it warmed a bit. Gushing tropical fruits, lemon citrus acidic cut, some smoky French Oak(aged for 16mos), some Semillon-like(don’t know if any added) sweet honeydew to cream it up and balance the mineral and citrus. I’ve always loved their reds…but this was an eye opener! Very nice wine! (94 pts.)
