The 2024 Spottswoode Sauvignon Blanc is a vibrant, beautifully detailed expression of this benchmark white. Sourced from the estate and select Napa and Sonoma vineyards, it opens with citrus blossom, lime zest, and white peach, with hints of fresh herbs and minerality. The palate is sleek and energetic, showing crisp orchard fruit and subtle tropical notes with Spottswoode’s signature purity and balance. Lively acidity carries the refreshing, long finish—another standout vintage from this storied winery.

Spottswoode Estate: A Napa Valley Benchmark
It feels almost redundant to introduce a winery as iconic as Spottswoode—an estate with more than forty vintages under its belt and a history of multiple 100-point wines. Yet every time we try to capture what makes this winery so extraordinary, we’re reminded just how much they continue to lead the way. Certified organic since 1992, biodynamic, Regenerative Organic Certified, a B Corporation, solar powered, TRUE Zero Waste certified—and consistently producing some of Napa Valley’s most admired wines. We recently revisited the highly anticipated 2021s, and they were everything we hoped for: precise, expressive, and unmistakably Spottswoode.

The estate vineyard sits on the alluvial fan at the base of the Mayacamas, where gravelly, well-drained soils and cool morning breezes yield wines known for purity, finesse, and balance. This site consistently produces Cabernet with energy, structure, and a distinctive perfume—hallmarks of Spottswoode.

Led by Winemaker & Vineyard Manager Aron Weinkauf, the team carries forward a meticulous, vineyard-first philosophy. With decades of organic and biodynamic farming behind them, their restrained, thoughtful approach lets the vineyard speak clearly, resulting in wines of grace, longevity, and true estate character.
