La Pelle Sauvignon Blanc Napa 2022

A razor-sharp expression of Sauvignon Blanc, this vibrant white crackles with electric tension from the first sip. Pure and unadorned, it races across the palate with piercing notes of lime, tart apple, and grapefruit zest, underpinned by a steely mineral backbone and a whisper of chalk. Hints of musky melon, floral mint, and crushed herbs add intrigue to the refreshingly crisp frame. Not for the faint of heart, this wine demands oysters—or at the very least, a hot day and a bold palate. Bracing, bone-dry, and brilliantly built.
