Fumé Blanc

2010 Napa Valley Sauvignon Blanc (90%), Carneros (10%)

The Grgich Hills Estate Fumé Blanc from the 2010 vintage is a delightful expression of Sauvignon Blanc, showcasing the vibrant character of Napa Valley. With its medium body, this wine presents a refreshing profile that is awash with bright acidity and mouthwatering fruit intensity. Expect luscious notes of citrus, especially grapefruit and lemon zest, balanced by subtle hints of grass and herbs that reflect its terroir. The wine is dry, allowing for a crisp finish, while the delicate texture gives way to a charmingly integrated and soft tannin presence. This Fumé Blanc is not only food-friendly but also an enjoyable companion for a variety of occasions, from casual meals to more refined gatherings.

Napa Valley

Napa gained international acclaim following the Judgement of Paris in 1976, when its wines defeated its French counterparts in a blind tasting. Napa's signature wines are Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and various Bordeaux blends, but many other varieties, such as Pinot Noir, Zinfandel, Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc also thrive here. With 16 sub-AVAs and a Mediterranean climate with rich geology, Napa is a winemaker's dream. The winegrowing region runs between the Mayacamas Mountains and Vaca Mountains for 30 miles, from Calistoga to Los Carneros. Napa has a wide array of soil types for such a small region, from volcanic foothills to alluvial valley floors, which help to produce varied and complex wines.
