I tasted a large number of wines at Spottswoode this year, including a mini-vertical of the flagship Cabernet Sauvignon that spanned every vintage winemaker Aron Weinkauf has been at the estate. It won't come as a surprise that Spottswoode, one of Napa Valley's elite properties, turned out brilliant wines in top vintages like 2013 and 2016. The wine that always surprises me in this lineup of recent vintages (which I have had occasion to taste more than once) is the 2011, as it is a challenging vintage that is the true testament to an estate's commitment to quality. This is an absolutely captivating set of wines from Spottswoode and the team led by proprietor Beth Novak Milliken.

Spottswoode founder and matriarch Mary Weber Novak passed away just before harvest, which cast a bit of a somber mood on my fall visit. These wines are a lasting testament to the passion for quality Novak instilled and that her daughter Beth Novak Milliken continues today. Quite simply, I was blown away by the wines I tasted, starting from the small production Albariño and Sauvignon Blanc to the flagship Cabernet Sauvignon. In addition to these current releases, I also had a chance to revist the Cabernet Sauvignon back to the 2010 vintage. The most surprising wine of that mini-vertical is the 2011, a wine that shows what total dedication and a top site can do.
