Aged in 100% Stainless Steel, this wine's aromatic profile is packed with ripe pear, fresh melon, with an underlying citrus element that brightens up the overall experience. On the palate, it is refreshing, showing flavors of melon, pineapple and juicy grapefruit and a balanced acidity that lengthens the finish. An amazing value in the realm of Napa Valley Sauvignon Blanc.
Faustini is the Napa Valley passion project of our friends Anthony and Michelle Faustini. After much research during the summer of 2005, this quality-driven couple started their first Cabernet project with fruit sourced from the illustrious Beckstoffer Dr. Crane Vineyard in St. Helena, and never looked back. Their winemaker Kian Tavakoli worked at both Opus One and Clos du Val, and is a graduate of UC Davis. With Faustini wines, it's all about using prime vineyard sites and crafting rich, balanced, elegant wines. In addition to sourcing Beckstoffer Dr. Crane, they use fruit from Galleron Road Vineyard in Rutherford, Howell Mountain and Coombsville Vineyard in Napa Valley.

A medium-bodied white with aromas and flavors of lemon zest, green apple, fresh pear and nettles. Lightly waxy with crisp acidity. Lots going on here.

The 2019 Sauvignon Blanc Beach House No. 34 leaps from the glass with vibrant notes of green guava, fresh pears and passion fruit plus hints of lime blossoms, yuzu and beeswax. The full-bodied palate is packed with tropical fruit flavors, featuring a decadently oily texture and plenty of freshness, finishing with a citrusy skip in its step. Drink Date 2020 - 2023
