Hourglass 2019 Sauvignon Blanc, Napa Valley
4814139195474
$ 39.99
Rare new Sauvignon Blanc from Hourglass. Highly recommended
The 2019 Hourglass is no ordinary California Sauvignon Blanc; it is more akin to a white Bordeaux with its texture, integrated, expressive fruit, and dry, limestone accent.
Primary aromas of Honeydew melon, Meyer lemon zest and peach blossom with bright notes of Granny Smith apple, spearmint and fresh cut hay. On the palate, limeade, lemon meringue and Pippin apple intertwine with notes of brioche, honey and chamomile flowers. The addition of 5% Semillon, along with judicious barrel fermentation and frequent lees stirring, create beautiful texture and depth, with bright acidity and chalky minerality providing precision and balance on the long, lively finish.

94 Points - new release
A small-production gem! A stunning mix of tropical notes and citrus married with decadent highlights of honey on the nose. The barrel fermentation and aging create an incredible richness on the palate that is balanced by significant bright natural acidity.
94 Points Wine Enthusiast: "This is a barrel-fermented white that impresses from start to finish, with 4% Sémillon added to the mix. A sublime white-peach flavor is layered and well-integrated within a stony texture. Offering length and breadth, this is defined by an exotic spice note that lingers.
