From Yountville’s storied AVA, this 2022 Riverain Sauvignon Blanc is a rare gem crafted by Napa’s "Top Gun" winemaker, Thomas Rivers Brown. Less than 200 cases were produced, showcasing the rare prized Sauvignon Blanc fruit coming from Napa legend Tom Gamble. Its vibrant bouquet of lychee and stone fruit captivates instantly.
Thomas Rivers Brown, named "Winemaker of the Year" by Food & Wine, brings his non-interventionist artistry to this Sauvignon Blanc. His 100-point pedigree lets the Riverbound vineyard’s terroir shine. Tom Gamble, a Napa icon, protects his Sauv Blanc fruit like a personal stash, ensuring only the finest grapes reach TRB's hands. Aged 10 months in neutral French oak and stainless steel, this wine offers seamless elegance. It’s simply one of the finest examples of Sauv Blanc you can get.
The palate unfolds a lush medley of green apple, melon, and apricot, kissed by lychee with a crisp mineral finish. Brown’s organic viticulture ensures pure fruit, free from enzymes or enhancements. WineProAI scores it a stellar 96.8/100 for its vibrant complexity. This Sauvignon Blanc is a fleeting treasure with limited production, perfect with seared scallops or citrus-dressed salads. Don’t miss this rarity.
A true Somm’s Dream, this Sauvignon Blanc rivals $60+ bottles for only $30. For TRB Cabernet fans, we offer a limited 2022 Riverain Tench Vineyard Cabernet from Oakville, grown next to Screaming Eagle. Secure this vibrant SB before it becomes legend.
