Wine writer Owen Bargreen says:
The Amulet Estate White Wine is a stunning bottling coming from the Proof Vineyard in the Napa Valley which was planted in the 1870s. This is brilliant, finesse-driven Sauvignon Blanc that is deeply textured, honeyed and rich. Banana and honeycomb flavors combine with macadamia nut and salty soils on the palate. A world-class bottling, enjoy now and over the next ten plus years to come. Drink 2024-2034.
The winery explains:
The 2022 ‘AE’ White Wine with rich aromas of wildflowers and pear fill the glass. There’s an exciting combination of texture, length and precision in the mouth. Flavors of apricot are intertwined with melon and honey.
Simply put, this is one of the richest, most concentrated and amazing Napa Valley dry white blends we’ve ever tried…and remarkably, at only 13% alcohol.
The Proof vineyard, by the way, is a mere four acres (of red and white grapes), planted in the 1870s and farmed both organically and without irrigation ever since. The vines are rubbed with garlic oil to prevent mildew and the only fertilizer used is dried Norwegian kelp from the 1950s.
