92 Points – 2023 St. Supéry Rutherford Estate Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc

Ripe stone fruit and papaya with juicy pineapple and refreshing sea salt make this an enticing and satisfying sauvignon blanc. Full flavored, with silken texture and a long finish, the wine is almost savory. -E.C.B, Sept. 2024

This limited, winery exclusive wine marks the inaugural release from St. Supéry’s Rutherford Estate Sauvignon Blanc Vineyard. To celebrate the winery’s partnership with Fed By Blue, an ocean sustainability advocacy organization, $2 from each bottle sold from the 2023 vintage will be donated to Fed By Blue. Visit fedbyblue.org to learn more.

St. Supéry acquired the forty-eight-acre parcel located just north of the winery in Rutherford prior to harvest in 2023. The vineyard is planted to forty-two acres of Sauvignon Blanc, mainly Clone 1. Noted winery CEO, Emma Swain, at the time of purchase, “We are excited to add to our Sauvignon Blanc vineyard holdings here in the Napa Valley. As one of the largest estate wineries in Napa Valley, we were yet to plant Sauvignon Blanc outside of our Dollarhide Estate Vineyard. The fruit from this new vineyard site in Rutherford is so nuanced and layered. Our winemaking team plans to ferment the blocks separately and trial various fermenting and aging techniques in 2023.”
