Altamura Sauvignon Blanc Napa Valley 2013
This is a one-of-a-kind Sauv Blanc that possesses tremendous depth and complexity. Crafted in a full-throttle, bold style, it offers plenty of lychee, quince paste, golden apple, and vanilla bean. Already cellared at the winery for several years, this is a prime-time experience. Truly a stunning experience to savor over the next 2-3 years.
