Score 91/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, May 2011

Deep straw-yellow. Ripe pineapple dominates the nose. Supple and tactile but surprisingly fresh, with strong acidity and pronounced minerality giving the wine a classically dry impression. Dense and stony sauvignon blanc. (My look at the 2010 in tank suggests an equally bracing wine that trades a bit of minerality for pungent grapefruit and floral lift.)

About the producer

Spottswoode
Spottswoode

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.
