Tasting notes
Spottswoode's 2016 Sauvignon Blanc is fresh and vibrant on the palate, yet also has quite a bit of supporting structure to back things up. The lemon peel, white flower and crushed rock flavors are beautifully delineated. I would generally prefer to drink the Sauvignon Blanc young, but I have tasted enough vintages with bottle age to know the wine has more than enough pedigree to develop nicely for at least a number of years after release.

About the producer

Spottswoode is one of those rare Napa estates whose reputation rests less on volume or spectacle than on persistent exactitude. Set on the western edge of St Helena, where the Mayacamas rise and afternoon breezes temper the valley’s warmth, the vineyard occupies a favoured pocket of the appellation.
