First Impression
The wine list at Savour reads like it was built to impress a certain kind of diner — the kind who orders Caymus on autopilot and considers Opus One a flex. That's not a knock, exactly, but it tells you who this list is written for. There's real care here, with a sommelier on staff and a 100-plus bottle program, but the adventurous drinker may find the edges a little soft.
Selection Deep Dive
The backbone is California, particularly Napa Valley, with marquee names like Far Niente and Opus One anchoring the upper end of the list. France gets representation too, which adds some Old World ballast, but this isn't a list chasing obscure Jura producers or skin-contact Slovenian whites. It's a confident, accessible program that delivers what an upscale Fort Myers crowd expects — and does it well. Gaps show up in the mid-range, where options between house pours and the prestige bottles can feel thin.
By the Glass
Twelve to eighteen pours by the glass is a solid spread for a restaurant of this size, and the $12–$22 range keeps the program accessible without feeling cheap. We'd want to know how often the selections rotate, because a static glass program at an upscale spot is a missed opportunity — and nothing in the data suggests they're shaking things up regularly.
Far Niente Chardonnay — $45 (estimated bottle entry)
Far Niente is a benchmark Napa Chardonnay that often gets lost in the shadow of the big red names on lists like this. If it's priced anywhere near the lower end of their bottle range, it's the smartest order in the room — rich enough to stand up to the pan-seared scallops without going full butter bomb.
Far Niente Chardonnay
Most tables here are locking eyes with Caymus or Opus One and walking right past the Far Niente Chardonnay. That's a mistake. It's one of California's most consistent whites and tends to get underordered on lists where the reds dominate the conversation.
Opus One
Opus One is a great wine, full stop — but at a restaurant with steep markup patterns, you're almost certainly paying a significant premium over retail for the privilege of drinking it here. It's the kind of bottle that gets ordered for the name, not the value. Save it for a special occasion at a spot with fairer pricing.
Caymus Cabernet Sauvignon + Filet Mignon
Caymus is a crowd-pleaser for a reason — it's plush, fruit-forward, and has enough structure to cut through a well-seared filet without competing with it. It's the safe call on this list, and sometimes the safe call is the right call.
✔️ The Bottom Line
Savour is a dependable upscale wine experience for downtown Fort Myers — a sommelier on staff, proper storage, and real bottles worth drinking. Just know you're paying for the room as much as the wine, and steer toward the Chardonnay if you want the best return on your dollar.
