Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

Salvestrin's Sauvignon Blanc showcases fruit from the Crystal Springs and Laurent Vineyards in the St Helena Appellation. Meticulously hand crafted and aged in a blend of stainless steel and neutral oak, this bright crisp Sauvignon Blanc is driven by minerality and freshness - capturing the natural acidity of the grapes.

Professional Ratings

    I tasted a tank sample of the final blend of Salvestron's 2022 Sauvignon Blanc, a mix of barrel-aged and tank-matured components, sourced from the winery's Crystal Springs Vineyard and the Laurent Vineyard. A blend of three different clones planted on two different rootstocks, it offers up lovely pear, fig and grapefruit aromas on the nose, while the palate is medium-bodied, crisp and lively. There's a hint of fleshiness, but overall, the wine is more streamlined in shape, with a silky texture and long, elegant finish.
    Barrel Sample: 90-92

    Fresh and citrusy with notes of green apples, savory herbs and flowers. Clean and sleek on the palate with medium body and a fruity finish. 

  • 90

    Brought up in a mix of neutral oak and stainless steel, the 2022 Sauvignon Blanc has a juicy, vibrant, floral style (there's some Musqu clone in here) as well as medium-bodied richness, bright, racy acidity, good mid-palate, and outstanding length.

It began when Italian immigrants John and Emma Salvestrin fell in love with St. Helena while visiting friends in the early 1920s. In 1932 they purchased a portion of the historic Crane Ranch, including the Victorian home of Dr. Crane. With the repeal of prohibition in 1933, they started selling grapes as the wine industry began to grown again.

Ed Salvestrin, who grew up on the family vineyard, continued to grow quality grapes through the 60s, 70s, and 80s preserving the family legacy for future generations. He still lives on the site and frequently tends to his fruit trees when he's not helping out in the vineyard.

In 1987, Rich Salvestrin completed his degree in viticulture from Fresno State University. He returned to the family vineyard to help farm and also to expand the family's grape growing business to include winemaking. 1994 was the inaugural vintage of Salvestrin Cabernet Sauvignon and in 2001 the estate winery was constructed amongst the family vines.

Today, the fourth generation Salvestrin girls are growing up on the family vineyard.

Capable of a vast array of styles, Sauvignon Blanc is a crisp, refreshing variety that equally reflects both terroir and varietal character. Though it can vary depending on where it is grown, a couple of commonalities always exist—namely, zesty acidity and intense aromatics. This variety is of French provenance. Somm Secret—Along with Cabernet Franc, Sauvignon Blanc is a proud parent of Cabernet Sauvignon. That green bell pepper aroma that all three varieties share is no coincidence—it comes from a high concentration of pyrazines (herbaceous aromatic compounds) inherent to each member of the family.

St. Helena Wine

Napa Valley, California

St. Helena is in the heart of the Napa Valley, nestled between Calistoga to the north and Rutherford on its southern border. On its western side, the Mayacamas Mountains guard it from the cooling effects of the Pacific Ocean; to its east stand the Vaca Mountains. In conjunction, these mountain ranges serve to lock in summer daytime heat. But in the evening, cool air from the San Pablo Bay funnels up through the valley, creating very chilly nights. It isn’t uncommon for temperatures to drop 50 degrees, a shift that promotes a balance of sugar ripeness and acidity in wine grapes.

St. Helena contains a plethora of different soil types in a small area, which have been enhanced over centuries by rain runoff from both mountain ranges. Its vineyards cover a variety of terrain, spreading across the bucolic valley floor and its benchlands.

These ideal topographic and climatic growing conditions easily caught the attention of early winemaking pioneers. In fact, St. Helena is the birthplace of Napa Valley’s commercial wine industry. Dr. Crane founded his cellar in 1859, David Fulton in 1860 and Charles Krug in 1861.

Today there are no less than 400 separate vineyards planted within the 12,000 acres that make up the St. Helena appellation.

Revered most for its red wines based on Bordeaux varieties, namely Cabernet Sauvignon, the St. Helena appellation is also a source of superior Syrah, Zinfandel and Sauvignon blanc.
