WW 95 pts. For three decades, the Spottswoode Sauvignon Blanc has been hidden in the cellar. While the winery's Cabernet Sauvignon ranks amongst the world's finest efforts, its white counterpart has been just truckin' along as its top-notch silent partner. One should never pass up the opportunity to acquire this wine. The 2016 Spottswoode Sauvignon Blanc starts out showing its alluring aromas of dried citrus, ripe melon, and wild herbs. One begins to feel the wine's vitality as it envelops the palate with exciting energy and persistence. The finish is bright, crisp and lasting. Pair it with linguine and clams accented with the freshest Italian parsley. (Tasted: February 9, 2018, San Francisco, CA)
