Robert Mondavi purchased the Wappo Hill Vineyard in Napa Valley’s Stags Leap District in 1969. The name Wappo, meaning 'brave', speaks to the history of this acclaimed vineyard site and the Native American tribe which lived on the hill and other sites throughout Napa Valley. The majority of grapes for this wine were selected from a single vineyard block on Wappo Hill where the Sauvignon Blanc expresses an intensity of flavor.

Pts. James Suckling "Super fresh citrus flavors, showing great acidity, fruit, and minerals. Very clean, bright, tangy, and mouthwatering. Lime zest, grapefruit, and white stones. Partially fermented in concrete eggs to emphasize lees contact, and the rest in steel tanks and neutral barrels. Drink now." - Jim Gordon, January 31, 2025
