Note: “Crafted with grapes from Spottswoode Estate, as well as those from other iconic family-owned vineyards, this wine is fermented in a combination of French oak, small stainless steel barrels, a clay amphora, and ceramic and concrete cuves. It is an eminently drinkable yet cellar-worthy Sauvignon that is energetic and sublime, fresh and well-integrated, with extraordinary aromas, effortless poise, and remarkable complexity. Noted wine reviewers have written that “Spottswoode has turned Sauvignon Blanc into an art form,” and have hailed this wine as one of the world’s “best Sauvignon Blancs,” calling it the “aristocracy of domestic Sauvignon Blanc.”
Winemaker Notes: “Expressive and exuberant, this wine stands out with its mouthwatering appeal. Inviting peach, white florals, and orange peel unfold immediately, with a sense of yellow pear flavors on the mid palate leading to a long finish. Succulent and juicy, the 2024 is beautifully balanced in texture and acidity, chronicling a dynamic and variable growing season.”
Decanter 94 Points: “The iconic Napa producer fermented this Sauvignon Blanc in French oak, small stainless steel barrels, clay amphora, and ceramic and concrete cuvees. Intense sweet peach aromas leap forth, followed by tarragon, sea foam, and lemon zest notes. The palate is fresh with pronounced citrus flavors, followed by ripe apricot and briny minerality.”
James Suckling 93 Points: “So fresh, citrusy, clean and minerally. A classic style of white that blends herbaceous aromas of snap peas and thyme with lemon, grapefruit, and white peach flavors. Contains 5% Semillon grapes from old vines. Drink now.”
