FUTOExplore 'SETA' Special Priced 2-Pack
1 bottle of each of the following is included in this Special Priced 2-Pack:
FUTO ‘SETA’ Sauvignon Blanc 2022
Jason Exposto, longtime winemaker, has been on the FUTO team since the beginning. He not only oversees winemaking but the farming side as well. That sort of innate ability to manage both sides of production has always helped this Oakville estate property make great wine. For this newest offering, Jason describes the wine as offering ‘chalk and crushed rocks that open out to a core of ripe pears, yellow apples, and white floral. It’s superbly silky texture, framing the tight-knit apple and citrus layers, and supported by a refreshing backbone of soft acidity.’ This is a sophisticated White that glides onto the palate with immense satisfaction.
FUTO ‘SETA’ Red 2021
Mainly Cabernet Sauvignon with a little Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot and Merlot, this 2021 is a showstopper, especially given its pedigree in winemaking and vineyard terroir. With an hour decant, it evolves into a deep noted Red that showcases FUTO’s estate vineyards in western Oakville and Stags Leap District. “The full-bodied palate is layered and intense, featuring exquisitely ripe, fine-grained tannins and seamless freshness. Crushed blueberries, fresh blackcurrants, and black cherry preserves with an evocative undercurrent of licorice, sandalwood, and clove oil.”
Welcome to the first vintage of SETA. Made by Jason Exposto and sourced from FUTO’s estate vineyard blocks, these two releases are an incredible addition to this Oakville and Stags Leap District winery. As Tom Futo explains, “We find that many of our components, through singularly alluring and possessing very attractive attributes, are not utilized in the final blends of the single vineyard tier.” Simply put, they are delicious and a great foray into what FUTO offers.
