Today’s 2012 Napa Valley Fume Blanc is yet another stunner from our friends at Grgich Hills Estate. It takes a pretty fantastic wine to drive our tasting panel to ask for a second taste, and today’s Fume was just that good.

At our tasting panel, we light-heartedly described today’s offering as Springtime in a Glass. We loved this wine’s delicious fresh notes of white fruit, flower petals, and a touch of honey. The finish has a lovely pop of acidity paired with subtle undercurrent of oaky creaminess, resulting in an overwhelmingly elegant mouthfeel, and a wine that is a perfect accompaniment to a summer picnic.

Grgich holds their releases until they are ready, so today’s offering is at its peak. Don’t miss out on this stellar white wine!
