  May 1, 2024 - Love this wine. A nice classic sauv blanc. Just a bright, crisp wine that opens up your pallet. Cheers

  April 26, 2024 - I don't drink a lot of New World whites, especially sauv blanc, but this is the best I've had in years. No grassiness or cat pee, which is a positive for me. It has a mineral forward presentation with a touch of oiliness and body from the 2% semillion that gives it an Old World-meets-New character. Medium bodied. The fruit is grapefruit and melon maybe subtle stone fruit -- not really any tropicals. It has a steeliness to it from the stainless steel aging.
  
  Paired amazingly with a scallop sashimi served with a touch of thin sliced kumquat, fresno chile, asian pear granita, and avocado cream.

  April 11, 2024 - Tried the 2022 Spottswoode at a dinner party along with the new Vinum Dei SB. Overall preferred the Vinum Dei, but always love the Spottswoode.
  This '22 Spottswoode is a zesty little number that makes my taste buds do a happy dance! Vibrant, with great aromas of grapefruit zest, freshly mowed lawn, and lemongrass. On the palate, it's a fruit salad of lime, green apple, and passionfruit flavors, backed by a brilliant zinginess. Plenty of racy concentration, while still being an elegant, lifted style. Fermented in a mix of stainless and neutral oak, there's no buttery or oaky business here. One of the best Napa SB's.
