"The 2013 Flor is gorgeous. A wine of pure texture, the 2013 offers up a compelling interplay of apricot pit, chamomile and honey, all with an attractive element of reduction that suggests the wine needs quite a bit of air after opening, which these wines usually do. Flor is 70% Sauvignon Blanc (Musque clone) and 30% Semillon, done with some lees stirring but not malolactic fermentation in a blend of oak with some stainless steel."

The fourth-largest wine producer in the world, led by California. American fine wine is defined by ripe, expressive fruit and a spirit of innovation, with Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon among the most sought-after wines globally.
Yields crisp, aromatic whites with citrus, herb and grassy notes. It shines in the Loire, Bordeaux blends and around the world for its refreshing zip.
Prized both for age-worthy dry whites and, when affected by noble rot, the great sweet wines of Sauternes. It offers waxy texture and honeyed depth.
