Review: Spottswoode 2021 Sauvignon Blanc Napa Valley / Sonoma Mountain ($50)

 Spottswoode's Sauvignon Blanc is rightly legendary, and certainly ranks among the elite Sauvignon Blancs of California, if not the world. The grapes come from several, mostly elevated sites around Napa Valley, plus a site on Sonoma Mountain, and the wine is made in a combination of stainless steel tanks, amphora, and a few concrete and ceramic containers. The result is both vibrant and a bit creamy, with vibrant lemongrass, clover, grapefruit, sweet pea, white pineapple, and lime blossom notes. Spectacular. (96 Points)
