Hourglass Sauvignon Blanc Napa 2014

This ultra-fragrant Sauvignon Blanc is a crowd pleaser from start to finish. An array of fruit in the bouquet suggests pear, apple blossom, and honey. The palate has nice weight to it, offering layers of orchard fruit and lime citrus that culminates in a wonderfully focused finish. Enjoy over the next 2-3 years.

Hourglass Winery

Hourglass Wine released their first vintage in 1997 and until recently, their entire production was from a single 4-acre vineyard just north of St. Helena. The Smith Family have lived in the Napa Valley since the mid 1960’s and today Hourglass is owned by Jeff Smith and his wife Carolyn. Jeff’s father was a real estate developer and had the foresight to recognize that people would be captivated not only by the scenic beauty of the Napa Valley but also by the wines produced from this region.
