Sauvignon Blanc grapes

Even though we've visited many Napa Valley Wineries over the years, this was our first visit to St. Supéry. Little did we know what we had been missing! Very nice wines.

Tasting hours: Daily - 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

Listed wines and/or vintages may no longer be available. Contact the winery for the most recent releases.

1999 Sauvignon Blanc
Abundant aromas of green limes and grapefruit with the grapefruit coming through strongly on the taste. Subtle touches of melon. A vibrant wine!

1998 Chardonnay
Michael especially liked this wine. Great melon fruits in the flavor. Lots of fruit on the finish. Rated 90 by the Wine Enthusiast..

1998 Limited Edition Chardonnay (Dollarhide Ranch)
This wine was absolutely delicious! Extremely mellow with mango and melon flavors. Only 442 cases produced and only available at the winery.

1999 Moscato
Luscious! Aroma and flavor of ripe peaches and stewed apricots. A sweeter wine, but it leaves a fresh, clean taste in your mouth. Not overpowering at all.

1996 Red Meritage
Strong berry aroma and finish. This wine was another that Michael favored. Should be very good with a little aging.

1998 Merlot
Elegant wine with black cherry and blueberry flavors. Just a sprinkling of tobacco and anise on the palate.

Other wines produced by this winery include: Meritage (red and white), Semillon, Cabernet, and Cabernet Sauvignon. Many of their wines have won Best in Class, Sweepstakes, and Best in Show awards at several wine competitions.
