Sauvignon Blanc Season in Napa Valley
Napa Valley's reputation is built on Cabernet, but June belongs to Sauvignon Blanc. As temperatures climb and the valley settles into its long summer rhythm, this is the varietal that earns its moment — crisp, bright, and exactly right for the season.
Napa's Sauvignon Blanc is distinct from its French counterparts. Warmer days and rich valley soils yield wines with ripe citrus, stone fruit, and lemongrass in place of the grassier notes found in Sancerre or Marlborough. The result is a summer wine with genuine complexity — one that rewards a slow afternoon on a shaded terrace as much as it does a poolside pour.
Guests of Napa Valley Lodge are steps from Handwritten Wines in downtown Yountville, where The Author Sauvignon Blanc delivers tropical aromas of passion fruit and citrus with a soft, lingering finish. A short drive brings two more standouts: Cliff Lede Vineyards in the Stags Leap District, where the Sauvignon Blanc opens with lime blossom and elderflower, and St. Supéry in Rutherford, whose Dollarhide cold concrete-fermented Sauvignon Blanc is among the most celebrated in the valley.
Reserve your stay and raise a glass to the season.
