St. Supery Napa Valley 2015 Sauvignon Blanc, $17.99-$21.99, 93 points, was a rainbow of brass-colors.
Profuse aromas of pineapple, grapefruit, and apple with a subtle floral vibe were outrageously vibrant.
Light-body, crisp, appropriately acidic, and chock-full of flavors reflective of the nose with hints of lemon grass were outstanding.
Finished long on black pepper, ginger, the trailing palate, and an invigorating 13.5% alcohol.
St. Supery was my first of the Cali 2015 vintage, and if this one is typical of Napa Valley's offering, we're in for a great summer of Maine lobsters, New Hampshire fried clams, and off-shore deep sea scallops.
St. Supery is setting the bar rather high!

"Outrageously vibrant" - that's my type of SB :)
ReplyDeleteVG: Maybe I should have said: St. Supery was stimulatingly superior! Not!
