Alpha Omega, Sauvignon Blanc, Napa Valley

A very light and easy sauv blanc. Tropical fruit and a hint of hops on the nose. Strong mango and passion fruit in the palate.

Across the board AO seems to think that their entire portfolio stands to cellar for decades and they may be right. I believe this bottle is entirely estate fruit so the vines are that old but I'm really impressed with how much more depth this has taken on since we last checked in. Not that we didn't enjoy it then, it's just at another level now and I suspect it will gain additional depth moving forward. Like the reviewer a …

Really enjoy the AO Sauv Blancs. Not to grassy not to much grapefruit which often turn me off to SB. Tropical fruits and minerals all mingle nicely together here.

Solid wine in all regards. Looks great in the glass and is light and crisp on the nose and palate. Tropical fruits, mineral, stone blend nicely. It will continue to age and evolve nicely for years to come.

First servings upon our arrival at Alpha Omega in NAPA valley. (I was all excited because it was my first wine tasted of my first ever trip to Napa) Nose: White flowers,peers, lime palate: Simple, white flowers, lime and almonds with short/medium finish Nothing exceptional here ! 84-85 Voila !

WOTN at this all white wine dinner. Guava and pear fruit dominate with a light as air mouthfeel and refreshing finish. Great balance of fruit and acitity.

Truffle Burgers and Wine Chez Dan (Chez Dan, Palo Alto, California) : Very light yellow color; ripe gooseberry, oak nose; ripe gooseberry, lemon grass, lime cream, oak palate with low acidity; medium finish

This wine is a light clear yellow with light/medium body and 14.1% alcohol. It gave off aromas of apricots, pineapple, mango and roses. It tasted of pears, peach, mango and rose petals. Another unique and ageable wine from Alpha Omega, it will easily go 5 years from vintage date, maybe 10.

I have to say that I approached this wine with a degree of scepticism at first. I typically find Sauvignon Blancs from California to be the least impressive wines made with the varietal. They usually lack the depth, definition, and complexity that Sauvignon Blancs from France, New Zealand, Chile, and Australia can have. That said, I’m always willing to give a wine a fair shot, so I dove right in. I was pleasantly surprised by this wine’s aroma, and I …

It had nice hints of oak with a nose of tropical fruits like pineapple and mango. The tropical fruit continued on the palate but also had flavors of caramel and vanilla. Excellent!

Bright nose with lemon thyme. Soft, creamy, and light sweetness. Tasted at winery.

Heavy fruit, pear, apple, same Sauv Blanc as many north napa wines. Good for an "everyday" Sauv Blanc, but not worth the $30+ tag
