Wine Of The Day: 2017 Rombauer Vineyards Sauvignon Blanc

This delicious and very food friendly wine offers high QPR.  More please!

Introduced with the 2014 vintage,  the Rombauer Vineyards Napa Valley Sauvignon Blanc was their first new varietal wine introduced in more than 20 years, and only the second white wine in their long history.  The fruit for this wine comes from four carefully selected sites in Napa Valley.  The grapes were gently whole-cluster pressed while the fruit was still cool. Ninety percent of the juice was fermented in stainless steel tanks. The remaining juice was fermented in neutral French oak barrels to impart weight and texture to the wine. The barrel-fermented portion was blended back to tank after three months in barrel. The wine was bottled under Stelvin aluminum closure — another Rombauer first — to preserve the freshness and vibrancy this Sauvignon Blanc.

Pair with: We paired with a mixed green salad topped with rotisserie chicken and  goat cheese.  But I would lover to try these options from the Irma Rombauer’s excellent  – Joy of Cooking:  Black Cod In Sake-Miso Marinade, Roasted Cauliflower Soup, or Seared Sea Scallops with Lemon Herb Beurre Blanc.
