Heritance Napa Sauvignon Blanc

Taub Family Vineyards traces its roots back four generations during a transformative period in U.S. wine history—mere days after the repeal of Prohibition. Yet, this story is far from complete. As Proprietor Marc D. Taub and his son Jake explore Napa's most dynamic sub-appellations and single vineyards to build their own storied Cabernet house. Wine has always been at the heart of the family's tale and livelihood. Marc D. Taub, raised with a profound reverence for winemaking, inherited this passion from his grandfather Marty, a pivotal figure in the wine industry since the early 1930s. Later, Marc's father David joined Marty, contributing to the realization of his vision. Marc's destiny was clear; it materialized in 2013 when he acquired Heritance, a Napa Valley producer, which subsequently transformed into Taub Family Vineyards. The winery curates wines from some of Napa Valley's most esteemed sites. Each bottle embodies the essence of its unique AVA and vineyard microsite, crafted to epitomize elegance and exquisite balance. The valley oak depicted on the label, an iconic feature of Napa Valley's landscape, pays homage to the family's heritage, while the diamond positioned at the tree's base symbolizes the seed planted for future generations' legacy.

This Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon comes from the Pestoni vineyard in Rutherford. These vines are an average of 20 years old planted on alluvium-gravel, Rutherford bench soils. The vineyard is planted with Clone 317 (lean acidity clone for structure) with some Sauvignon Blanc Musque (an aromatic clone).

Taub Family Vineyards Heritance Sauvignon Blanc aims to highlight the pristine fruit from Rutherford via stainless steel fermentation. The 8% Semillon in the blend is in neutral oak for four months which gives it complexity and richness.

Pale lemon-green color. On the nose, tropical fruit, citrus, and pineapple with floral hints. The palate shows nuances of melon, pear and citrus with a firm acidity and a smooth lingering finish.
