The Fidelio Napa Valley Sauvignon Blanc

Part of the Wine Nerd Herd festive gathering was a SB luncheon which this bottle was a part of. Graciously provided by @Eric LaMasters , thank you. I visited this bottle several times looking for how it would find its sense of place. Came across with a bit to much acid in the beginning then after a few hours I got this grassy somewhat oily texture that seemed to be the end of its development. Would like to try in another year.

As good as any White Bordeaux. 

Fish tacos and white wines on this very hot day. Last day of pressing fruit. Realm was ultra floral and fruity. Obviously you all know how I feel about Kongsgaard 😘

As good as any Bordeaux Blanc

Haven’t had such a pleasurable Sauvignon Blanc in a long time. Rich in flavor, yet light on the palate. Some tropical fruit notes are there but it’s basically taking a quality SB and stretching those characteristics further in, still managing to keep it in balance.

One of the best sauv Blancs made. Not only because I’m in love with the winemaker @realmcellars

Yum

Delicious Realm SB

Crisp, apples, tart

More partial to Realm red wines, but still delicious. Guava, pineapple, lemons, honeydew melon, and peach. Wonderful mouthfeel and perfectly balanced acidity.
