Spottswoode Estate Vineyard & Winery, Napa and Sonoma Counties (California) Sauvignon Blanc 2018

Apr 28, 2020

By Marguerite Thomas

 Intricately flavored and alluringly textured, this is a stunningly pleasurable Sauvignon Blanc.  The fruit sourcing is from Napa County (40%) and Sonoma County (60%).  It is laced throughout with notes of citrus, delicate herbs and stone minerality.  Medium bodied, and delivering a long and complex finish, this white wine was fermented in a combination of oak and stainless steel barrels, a clay amphora and three different sizes of concrete egg.   No wonder it is both multifaceted and subtle!
