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.

Excellent sauv blanc
I gifted this bottle from my wine club shipment to a friend that is a regular sauv blanc drinker, and she responded with a raving review that it's one of the best she's had.

"Despite the heat, it'll be alright..."
I would like to sip on this Lot 658 2016 Sauvignon Blanc every summer day. And at this price, I would. This Sauvignon Blanc has an irresistible citrus profile that finishes crisp and fresh. Napa Valley sure can produce some fine grapes. I hope you get more of this soon.

Great Sauv Blanc
Cam says to let the wine rest after shipment. I did! What a wonderful treat when I finally sampled my first bottle. What a shame I waited so long as now it is gone. Another great find for this summer weather.

Outstanding value
The first time I pulled the cork from Lot 658 I knew we were in for a treat. A lot of the shiners we buy from Cam have corks that identify the winery of origin. This one does, and I was very impressed. But the wine didn't disappoint. A good crisp example of California Sauvignon Blanc. It goes especially well with Shrimp Scampi, a specialty of our kitchen. When you're looking for a break from Chardonnay and want something a little lighter, this hits the spot.

Food Friendly Sauv Blanc
This is not a New Zealand grassy style Sauv Blanc. It is great California style Sauv Blanc, dry, food friendly
