One of the Napa Valley’s best-kept secrets is the success of its sauvignon blanc. Understandable, to be sure, because of the long shadow cast by the valley’s excellent cabernet sauvignon. This gem from Acumen offers notes of white peach, melon and citrus, is beautifully balanced and just the sort of fresh white wine you will want on a warm summer day.
