Chad Wine Company - Napa Valley Sauvignon Blanc 2025

For the last ten years, the customers at the Princeton Corkscrew have come to recognize anything from Chad Wine Company as an amazing deal. Whether it is their Pinot Noirs, Chardonnays or Cabernets, anytime you see the Chad label you know that you are getting a wine that punches above its weight. The cuvées and sources change almost every year, but that’s what makes Chad special: they have a nose for the deals, no matter if the fruit is from Sonoma, Napa, Santa Barbara or the Willamette Valley. Chad has worked closely with many wineries on the west coast, where they have an almost preternatural talent for knowing which top vineyards and producers have extra fruit they need to unload.

Sourced from well-sited vineyards across Napa’s valley floor, where warm days build ripeness and cool evening breezes preserve acidity, this wine captures the balance that makes Sauvignon Blanc so compelling: vivid aromatics, pure fruit and electric refreshment. The fruit sees excellent sun exposure while retaining freshness, resulting in a style that leans more toward precision and lift than overt ripeness.

Chad’s Sauvignon Blanc pour a brilliant lemon yellow with pale gold reflections. The aromatics are bright and inviting, with citrus blossom, lime zest and fresh-cut grapefruit layered over hints of green apple and a touch of tropical fruit. On the palate, it’s crisp and energetic, driven by vibrant acidity and a clean mineral streak. Notes of lemon curd, white peach and a subtle herbal edge carry through to a refreshing, focused finish that keeps you coming back for another sip. The perfect foil for seafood… raw oysters, sushi, rock shrimp ceviche, Baja-style fish tacos or linguine with clams. Also wonderful with light summer salads or classic roasted chicken.
