Groth 2019 Sauvignon Blanc Napa Valley, California

Description

This 92 point Sauvignon Blanc is produced from grapes grown in various microclimates of the Napa Valley. The warmer area has grapes with melon and citrus characteristics in both aroma and flavor. The cooler areas of Napa Valley provide fruit with a solid, crisp backbone that gives the wine an exciting liveliness and balances the rich creaminess from “sur lie” aging. The Sémillon is grown on the Groth Oakville Estate vineyard and is harvested with the Estate Sauvignon Blanc, contributing roundness and weight to the mouthfeel. A special combination of pressing, fermentation techniques, and the aging program adds complexity to the aromas while preserving the bright fruit and lively natural acidity that make this wine so refreshing and enjoyable.
