Mission Codename The pause that refreshes
Are you ready for a truly superior Sauvignon Blanc? How about this one, that you can steal from us at 45% off?
If that’s not enough to convince you, consider that this wine was made by Kevin Holt, the former head of winemaking and winemaker for MacRostie, Quivira, Artesa and many other famous wineries.
This wine bursts with gorgeous aromas of green apple, pineapple, white peach, lemon curd, dried hay, dried apricot, white peach and a hint of flinty minerals.
The silky and soft entry transports a cascade of flavors across the entire palate, with green apple, lemon curd, pineapple, white peach, Bosque pear, subtlest white spice and creamy vanilla.
Beltane Ranch has been making sustainably farmed Sauvignon Blanc and Zinfandel in the Sonoma Valley since 2010, on the ranch that Rosemary Wood and her family purchased in 1970. They are the recipient of the North Bay Sustainability Award and 100% of their winegrowing and winemaking is certified sustainable by the California Sustainable Winegrowing Alliance.
If you love balanced and delicious Sauvignon Blanc, we think that you’ll be thrilled by today’s boldly recommended Beltane Ranch delight!

What the wine press has to say:
Maryann Worobiec, Wine Spectator: “The direct, fresh citrus, apple and peach flavors have a tangy note, with floral and herbal overtones on the finish.”
~
Virginie Boone, Wine Enthusiast: “Creamy vanilla and pear give this white a decadent edge, brought back to earth by its integrated acidity. The use of oak is not overdone and there’s body and structure to spare, along with tropical-leaning flavors of papaya and pineapple.”
