Note di degustazione
Certified B Corporation. Fruit comes from a mix of Napa County and Sonoma County vineyards. 97% Sauvignon Blanc, 3% Sémillon. 15% new oak. Aged six months in a mix of new and used barrels, stainless steel, concrete and clay. Nicely delivered aromas of lemongrass and a faint backdrop of white stone fruits are carried into the palate with finesse. This is a well-balanced wine offering a refined nose, pleasing palate texture, good lift and a lot of length. Very long finish. (ECB)

I always love the white from this team, and their 2020 Sauvignon Blanc is bright and racy, with lots of lime, white grapefruit, and chalky mineral notes in a medium-bodied, crisp, pure, beautifully balanced package. It will keep for 10-15 years if you’re so inclined.
The 2020 Sauvignon Blanc is bright, crisp and full of varietal character. Lemon peel, sage, mint, white flowers and crushed rocks all grace this exquisite, crystalline Sauvignon Blanc from Spottswoode. The 2020 should age gracefully for a number of years.
The 2020 Sauvignon Blanc opens with vivacious lime juice, yuzu peel and grapefruit scents, followed by notions of lemongrass and wet pebbles. Medium-bodied and intense, it has racy citrus flavors and a steely finish.

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.
