Hourglass Sauvignon Blanc Napa Valley 2013
Hourglass has crafted a stately Sauvignon Blanc that stands with grace alongside their majestic red wines. Upon approach, pronounced melon fragrances jump from the glass, as well as a hint of the prodigious mineral characteristics to be found on the palate. As you taste, layers of subtle citrus unfurl across the tongue but it’s the crisp slate flavors that convey elegance and define the wine. This is a pristine Sauvignon Blanc that shows great finesse, and it should provide extreme pleasure over the next few years for the few lucky enough to come across it. Drink now through 2017.
