An exquisite balance of refreshing fruit and minerals, this Sauv Blanc shows what the upper echelons of quality can achieve. The bouquet is extremely expressive with fresh mint, citrus zest, and honeydew melon. The palate showcases a lip-smakin’ tasty key lime pie component balanced by refreshing minerality and an exquisitely creamy mouth feel. The tangy finish will provide a match made in heaven with fresh shellfish plus spicy Asian cuisine (Thai especially!).” – July 2022

Plinth Wine Winery

After arriving in California in 2010, a majestic plot of land enchanted Jason and Flora
Chang. It was there that they planted their entrepreneurial wine roots, founding Nine
Suns Winery and Houyi Vineyard. The wine brand grew under their passionate
direction, as did Houyi’s reputation among wine-lovers and winegrowers within—and
far beyond—the rolling hills of Napa Valley.

In 2022, the Changs passed stewardship of the winery and vineyard to their longtime
partners and friends, Realm Cellars. Their wine journey, though, was far from over.
During those 12 years with Nine Suns, a budding interest in wine blossomed into a great
reverence for wine's distinct ‘somewhere-ness’ and the occasions and people that give
wine its meaningful relevance. This perspective on the meaning of a wine’s plinth
inspired a brand devoted to both the land it grows from and the experiences over which
it is shared.

Under the winemaking direction of Philippe Melka and continued relationship with
Realm Cellars, Plinth produces its own expression of Pritchard Hill with a very limited
batch of Cabernet Sauvignon Houyi Vineyard wines and choreographs Bordeaux blends
and white varietals that celebrate wine as a foundational element of a life well-lived.
