9 Standout White Wines From The San Francisco International Wine Competition

V. Sattui Winery 2024 Dry Riesling — Mt. Veeder, Napa Valley, USA

A dry Riesling from V. Sattui Winery, produced in Napa Valley’s Mt. Veeder appellation, rounds out the list. Mt. Veeder, located on the southwestern slopes of the Mayacamas Mountains in Napa Valley, is known for its steep, rugged vineyards and cooler mountain climate, which provide the natural acidity that suits Riesling. That balance was clearly evident in this bottling.

The panel noted its aromatic profile and structural balance, describing “classic, orange blossom. Light petrol on the nose, good balance of acid. Nice finish.” The result is a refreshing wine that demonstrates how well Riesling can thrive outside its traditional European homes.
