Rombauer Vineyards Sauvignon Blanc 2023 (Napa Valley) shows a pale straw hue and an expressive nose of Meyer lemon, pink grapefruit, and lime zest layered with white peach, guava, and a cool hint of lemongrass. The palate is vibrant and juicy, balancing ripe citrus and stone-fruit flavors with a lively spine of acidity and a faint saline snap. Subtle herbal tones, think fresh pea shoot and sweet basil adds lift, while a gentle, leesy silkiness rounds the mid-palate without dulling the crisp edge. Honeydew and kiwi notes emerge as it opens, leading to a clean, mouthwatering finish that echoes citrus pith and wet stone. Bright, polished, and impeccably refreshing, it’s effortless on its own and shines alongside oysters, goat cheese salads, or herb-driven seafood.
