2014 Spottswoode Sauvignon Blanc North Coast (750ml)

"88 out of 100 - This iconic Napa Cabernet Sauvignon producer from St. Helena now produces greater quantities of Sauvignon Blanc, which is a cross-county Napa/Sonoma blend. The 2014 Sauvignon Blanc exhibits grassy fig, honeysuckle and melon notes that seem to suggest a hypothetical blend of the Bordeaux and Loire Valley styles of Sauvignon Blanc. With crisp acidity, medium body and terrific fruit, this is one of the benchmarks for Sauvignon Blanc in Northern California. This particular cuv‚e seems to show a bit more grassiness than previous vintages." - Robert M. Parker, Jr., Wine Advocate
