Intense, racy, spine-tingling, full-throttle Napa wine.

Wine Details
Lot 393 is truly full-throttle juice, with a rip-roaring nose of passion fruit and guava elevated on a beam of flinty, citrus-y acidity. 40% barrel fermented in neutral oak, the palate is an artful interplay of juicy, mouthwatering acidity and lush tropical notes. Intense, racy, spine tingling, fantastic.

Sourced from a $25/bottle Napa SB program (mostly from old vines in eastern Rutherford), this is one of the more outrageous Sauvignon Blancs to come out of Napa Valley or anywhere on the North Coast.

Dynamite SB
My favorite SB to come from CH to date, and I have tried the past five releases. I have been searching for a source for more of this lot, and hesitated to write a review until now for fear of letting the secret out. I really hope Cam can wheel another deal with this producer!

Wish there was more! Outstanding Flavor & Finish!
My wife and I are on our last of four (4) cases bought. We are concerned about what we are going to enjoy next. Fabulous!!

Try this one for sure.
What a wonderfully citrusy, fresh crisp wine. The ABV was an added bonus we never expected but the taste belied the strength with its nice smooth finish.

Below Value
Not something I've come to expect from CH. Uninteresting, pedestrian and something that does not make an impression.

Very nice aroma and wonderful finish.
We have bought several bottles and our friends love to see them on the table.

Great Sauvignon Blanc
Crisp, refreshing, nice fruit forward on the nose. Very much enjoyed another winner from Cameron Hughes.
