Lot 491
2023 Russian River Valley Sauvignon Blanc

750ml

$40+/bottle under the original label

Lot 491 is a 100% estate-grown Sauvignon Blanc from an acclaimed series that has won the hearts and palates of the industry’s top voices. A love letter to white Bordeaux, it routinely garners 90 points from the major publications.

A beautiful and dynamic nose of lime zest, white florals, and gooseberries underpins white peach, honeysuckle, and wet stone. The palate entry is vibrant, with perfectly integrated acidity, citrus, melon, and florals carried by an exceptional texture and weight that leads to a touch of pronounced spice on the exit. The finish is mineral-driven and refreshingly clean, with hints of melon and lime-infused oils.

Summer Sauv Blanc

"We always switch to whites when the weather changes. . . and this year we stocked up on the crisp, light and refreshing RR Sauv Blanc. . . goes well with a lazy front porch and holds it's own with a nice summer meal. Don't sleep on this one. . ."

— Brian G. (5/5)

Dee-Lish

"Very refreshing, perfect warm weather wine."

— William W. (5/5)

Buy, buy buy!

"What a great wine for almost every occasion. It blends well with seafood, cheeses, and light meats like chicken but also is an outstanding stand alone when you're just relaxing and want to enjoy a beautiful glass of wine."

— Lorraine E. (5/5)

Full of flavor- crisp

"Received this a few weeks ago, we let it rest and couldn’t save it for our Easter dinner. We love it!"

— Alice P. (5/5)

Solid Chard-adjacent choice

"Lot 491 is a lively, well-balanced Sauvignon Blanc that really delivers. It has the crisp, clean energy you want in a white wine, with layers of citrus, stone fruit, and just enough floral and mineral notes to keep it interesting. The texture is refreshing with a nice weight, and the finish brings a touch of spice. It's super versatile, great on its own or with light, summery food. If you're into Sauvignon Blanc or looking for something Chardonnay-adjacent but fresher, this one is a great pick."

— Teri T. (4/5)

Summer in bottle

"So different from the new Zealand flavors. A bit earthy, minerals. Slight hint of florals on the nose. A good wine."

— Frank M. (4/5)

Great for non-chard drinkers

"While my husband and I enjoy this wine my daughter and niece are thrilled with it because they do not like chardonnays much at all."

— Joycelyn M. (5/5)

Clean and refreshing
