While Futo Estate has long been celebrated for crafting some of the most profound, deeply structured Cabernet Sauvignons in Oakville and Stags Leap District, their "Seta" Sauvignon Blanc shows another side of the property. The name translates to "silk" in Italian, a nod to the exquisite, multi-layered texture that defines this rare, ultra-premium white wine. Sourced from a tiny parcel of estate vines, winemaker Jason Exposto utilizes a meticulously curated barrel program—fermenting and aging the wine in a combination of neutral French oak and concrete eggs—to build gorgeous mid-palate weight without compromising the fruit's natural vibrancy. The 2023 vintage is a masterclass in precision, opening with a striking, high-toned bouquet of white peach, lemon verbena, and elderflower, underpinned by nuances of crushed flint, lemon curd, and a delicate touch of matchstick reduction. On the palate, the wine effortlessly lives up to its namesake, displaying a seamless, silky texture that is beautifully countered by a racy, mouth-watering line of acidity. Layers of crisp green apple, candied citrus peel, and ginger glaze melt into a deeply persistent, saline mineral finish. This is an incredibly complete, world-class Sauvignon Blanc that marries the energetic drive of the Old World with the brilliant sun-kissed fruit of Napa Valley.
