Stag's Leap Wine Cellars AVETA Sauvignon Blanc 2024

Stag's Leap Wine Cellars AVETA Sauvignon Blanc 2024 is an expressive, vibrant, and finely structured California white wine produced by Stag's Leap Wine Cellars in Napa Valley. Visually displaying a brilliant pale straw-yellow hue, it opens with fragrant aromas of lemongrass, white peach, kiwi, tangerine, and fresh guava, beautifully complemented by subtle nuances of white pepper, tarragon, and crushed-stone minerality. On the palate, it exhibits a medium-bodied, sleek texture driven by crisp, energetic acidity that carries bright flavors of Meyer lemon, pomelo, and zesty citrus through a clean, savory, and elegant finish.

Food Pairing: Pairs wonderfully with fresh oysters on the half shell, pan-seared sea scallops, grilled halibut with lemon herbs, goat cheese salads, and asparagus risotto.

92 Points - James Suckling

If you’re looking for a leaner, lighter Napa white, this is a good choice. A light body, rather low alcohol and lots of bright, appetizing herb and citrus flavors distinguish this wine. So refreshing and savory with sweet peas, parsley and shallots.

92 Points - Wine Spectator

Opens with an appealing note of flint, offering litsea oil–scented Meyer lemon, pomelo and limeade flavors, plus whiffs of wild fennel, tarragon and lemon verbena. Lemon sherbet, crunchy sea salt and ruby grapefruit linger, showing plenty of grace on the finish.
