Waypoint Napa Valley Grieve Sauvignon Blanc
Sauvignon Blanc
The color is a shimmering pale straw gold with hints of yellow-green. The nose is intriguingly mild and quiet, but very deep indeed. There are subtle meadow flowers, hay and soft wheat, ryegrass, lemon and lime zest, quince, jasmine, honeysuckle, and oyster shell. In the mouth, it’s a medium-full body with bright, zingy acidity, and weighty with round edges, high toned citrus flavors in the mid-palate and mineral-laced lime and limestone, lemon curd, pineapple finish. Falling somewhere between ripe Sancerre and Graves Blanc, this is an unusually poignant statement about Sauvignon Blanc from California.

DIE MENSCHEN UND DER ORT
Alejandro Bulgheroni / Lithology / Waypoint
Napa Valley is a tale of fire and ash, molten rock, and explosive geological forces that etched their mark upon the land millennia ago. Over time, this substance has weathered and decomposed, creating soil that is rich in minerals and well-drained — the perfect conditions for exceptional grapevines to thrive. In these unique soils, our acclaimed winemakers dig a little deeper to create a distinguished collection of wines, each a powerful testament to the earth’s ability to shape and refine the flavors in your glass. Lithology, named after the study of rock formation, composition, and classification, crafts exceptional wines from the finest vineyard blocks within the Valley. Handcrafted by renowned winemakers Philippe Melka and Matt Sands, under the guidance of world-famous enologist Michel Rolland, the estate produces small lots of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. These wines reflect the unique character of their origins, particularly the esteemed Beckstoffer vineyards, allowing each sip to capture the true essence and diversity of the Valley. Waypoint Wines is an intrepid viticultural quest. From the verdant valley slopes to the stately redwood canopies, across the windswept coastal reaches to the rich peaks of volcanic earth, our vintners Matt Sands and Philippe Melka know no bounds in their search for the highest caliber vineyards in Northern California. No matter which direction their compass might point, their focus remains singular: to craft small-lot, single-vineyard wines that best represent a varietal and its unique growing location, all while ensuring each wine is absolutely delicious and infinitely drinkable. That’s our way.
