Wine Details
Opens out of the glass with aromas of lemon blossom and papaya, with hints of melon and tropical fruits. On the palate, a racy acidity finds harmony with flavors of grapefruit, kiwi, lime, and a kiss of honeydew melon. An exceptionally balanced, pleasing bottle of Sauv Blanc that will feature effortlessly at the dinner table and cocktail parties alike, and an ideal pairing with white meats, seafood, or any dish with green herbs.

As I’ve mentioned, my favorite opportunity buys are shiners – bottles of wine that have no label. Some folks just happen to have a little extra in their cellars, and I’m happy to scoop them up when I can get them for a hot price.
Sourced from a single vineyard in St. Helena at the heart of Napa Valley, Lot 658 comes to us from a state of the art winery on the valley floor, crafted by a winemaker with a long track record of producing food-friendly wines with an abundance of complexity and balance. Great vintage, terrific sourcing, and eminently pleasurable – at $13/bottle, it's one of the best Sauv Blanc deals on Napa Valley Sauv Blanc you'll find.

Clean & Complex
I just want to bring my sleeping bag and camp between the rows of this great Napa grape as I take in the terroir under the stars! I probably won't get away with that, so I'll have to settle for imagining what fun it would be while I content myself with this excellent wine. Sauv Blanc is a favorite of mine, and this mystery 658 hits every note from nose to finish. Lovely citrus fruits with just a hint of honeydew melon and balanced acidity make this easy to pair with food too.

A convert!
We love the crisp taste of a good Sauvignon blanc and this wine is exactly that! We used to buy only SB's from New Zealand but have converted to this one. It is clean and refreshing, everything we like in a white wine.

A wonderful wine
A Sauvignon Blanc fan. This wine is fantastic. The taste profile is maintained from start to finish. And the profile is light, flavorful, refreshing, clean, dry. Perfect with a cheese and fruit plate, or simply sipping on the patio. Will not find a Sav Blanc this good at this price, anywhere.

Always Summertime
It is a great summer drinking wine. Crisp and refreshing. I feel as though just sampling this wine regularly will extend the summer season. A great value once again.
