#57 Wine Spectator Top 100 of 2017
A cooling ocean breeze and morning fog during the warm growing season make Napa Valley an ideal climate for Mason's Sauvignon Blanc. The 2016 Sauvignon Blanc has lovely orange blossom and boxwood floral aromas. Medium bodied and well-balanced with a round and juicy texture, the palate presents pear and fresh tart apple flavors, complimented by a lingering, bright finish.

Clean, smooth and crisp, offering a lip-smacking mix of pear, melon and Key lime flavors, with plenty of intensity on the finish. Drink now.

Mason Cellars was founded in Oakville, California in 1993 by Randy and Megan Mason whose vision is to produce the highest quality wine possible that is consumer friendly, and available to their customers at a fair market price. Their goal is to create wines that can be readily enjoyed and shared by family and friends. With over 40 years of winemaking in the Napa Valley, Randy is the master behind the wine.
Randy Mason has long been recognized by the wine industry as being one of the best Sauvignon Blanc producers in the country. A pioneer in California Sauvignon Blanc, the Mason Sauvignon Blanc has set the standard for domestic producers to strive for, with this wine being named as part of Wine Spectator’s Top 100 Wines of 2017 for the 2016 vintage, amongst other impressive accolades.
Building on the success and groundwork laid by the Mason Sauvignon Blanc, Randy and Megan started to develop a Sauvignon Blanc house with the launch of Pomelo in 2004. A fun and playful spin on California Sauvignon Blanc; Pomelo is a wild success among consumers and press alike. After listening to his customers and distributors, Mason decided to produce their first ever Pinot Grigio in 2009 called Three Pears, a name inspired after their three children.
