Wine Description:
Hagafen Cellars, located in Napa Valley, was founded in 1979 by Irit and Ernie Weir, with their first vintage harvested in 1980. Over the years, the winery has grown from a modest partnership into a renowned boutique wine brand. In 1986, the Weirs purchased land on Napa's Silverado Trail, envisioning it as the perfect location for Cabernet Sauvignon. Ernie, known as Don Ernesto, continues to manage the vineyard and craft the wines, emphasizing minimal intervention and sustainable farming. His goal is to highlight the best of Napa Valley's natural geology and climate, creating wines that reflect the unique qualities of each harvest.

Wine Expert Note:

Hagafen Late Harvest Sauvignon Blanc is a delightful dessert wine with a rich and luscious character. It is known for its intense flavors and aromas of tropical fruits, such as pineapple, mango, and passion fruit. The wine exhibits a beautiful golden color, which is a result of the grapes being left on the vine longer to develop higher sugar levels. On the palate, this Late Harvest Sauvignon Blanc offers a perfect balance between sweetness and acidity. The sweetness is not overpowering, allowing the vibrant acidity to provide a refreshing and lively sensation. This wine is a true treat for those who appreciate the complexity and depth of a well-made dessert wine. The finish is long and lingering, leaving a pleasant aftertaste of ripe fruits and a touch of honey. It pairs exceptionally well with a variety of desserts, such as fruit tarts, crème brûlée, or even a simple cheese platter with some creamy blue cheese.
