Winemaker Notes
The 2024 Napa Valley Sauvignon Blanc has a beautiful pale straw color. On the nose, it bursts with fresh-cut cantaloupe, zesty lime, ripe papaya, a hint of candied lemon, and a touch of white pepper. The palate offers refreshing lemon-lime and citrus oil notes, giving it a smooth, lively character. It has a crisp, clean finish with just the right amount of bright acidity and a lovely waxy feel.

92 Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate
A blend of 89% Sauvignon Blanc and 11% Sémillon, Groth’s 2024 Estate Sauvignon Blanc was fermented in a mix of neutral oak barrels and second-fill acacia wood, with the Sémillon going into concrete egg. The result is a wine characterized by bold scents of honeyed fig and melon, with just a hint of pencil shavings. It’s medium- to full-bodied, expansive, generous and even rich across the mid-palate, then tightens up nicely on the finish, ending clean and lemony.
92 Jeb Dunnuck
Based on 89% Sauvignon Blanc and 11% Semillon and brought up in second-fill acacia and neutral French oak barrels, with a small amount in concrete eggs, the 2024 Sauvignon Blanc Estate is a richer styled effort that has ripe lemon curd, lanolin, and honeyed flowers all defining its aromatics. It’s medium-bodied, has a layered texture, bright, integrated acidity, and outstanding length. It reminds me of some Semillon blends from Bordeaux given its richness.
91 Wine Spectator
This is impressive for the harmony of its precise, elegant lemony notes and its flavors of tangerine and plump, ripe and salted melon, all on a light and crisp frame. Details of ripe peach, orange blossoms and freshly grated ginger, plus a touch of lemon balm, lin- ger on the finish alongside a hint of green tea.
90 James Suckling
This has citrusy, slightly grassy character with apples, lemon rind, spicy herbs and crushed stones on the nose. Medium-bodied, textured and juicy, it finishes creamy and sleek.
