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.

Very enjoyable
I think this is the first CH wine where I actually found out where it came from (the cork is from the original winery)! As such, it is not as good a value as some CH wines, but still a good discount from retail. A nice wine for a warm day, with or without food. We enjoyed a bottle with a mildly spicy shrimp salad, and it paired very nicely.

Crisp, easy drinking sauv blanc
My wife loves this Sauvignon blanc, like all others she’s tried from the CH vaults.

Outstanding wine for the price.
Like all CH wines I've tried, this is a superb example of an agreeable and always welcome Sauvignon Blanc. There are better examples but none at this proce.

Versatile crisp wine
A dry crisp dry wine with green grassy body, faint floral notes and just a hint of turpentine. Pairs well with risotto.

Good, not great
Decent Sauvignon blanc, though not one of the best CH offers. Would be great from a regular retailer, but CH provides such high quality, this one doesn’t quite makes the mark.

Like to have this one on hand always, just a great, dry value wine. Not spectacular but solid, always receives compliments when we serve this.

Very nice and refreshing
Great nose!. Nice melon/lemon taste and finish. Not too hot like some of these types of wines. Very refreshing!
