SPOTTSWOODE　/　スポッツウッド

スポッツウッドはナパ・バレーのセントヘレナの西端に位置しています。

ラベルに描かれているような歴史的なヴィクトリア調の風格のある建物がある46エーカーの土地です。またクラシックな英国調の素晴らしい庭があり、入り口辺りに荘厳な雰囲気をあたえていて、高級ワイナリーらしい威厳があります。

建物の後ろにある40エーカーのブドウ園はマヤカマス山脈の裾野にあります。現在スポッツウッドのある土地は1882年にジョージ・ショーンワルド氏によって設立されました。

ショーンワルドはナパ・バレーでのブドウ裁培の初期の開拓者でありオリジナルのエステート・ワイナリーを創りあげた人として知られています。1972年にマリー・ウェバー・ノヴァクと故ジャック・ノヴァック博士によって購入されたこの土地は、1910年からスポッツ夫妻が所有。現在はマリーの娘ベス・ノヴァック・ミリケン氏がワイナリーを管理しています。

ワイナリー名はそれまでの前所有者の名前に所以します。ヴィクトリア調の建物はきれいに修復され、ぶどうはそのときに植え替えられたものです。最初のカベルネ・ソーヴィニヨンは1982年に生産されました。

エステート・ヴィンヤードは40エーカーで、カベルネ・ソーヴィニヨンを中心にカベルネ・フランとソーヴィニヨン・ブランが少量ずつ植えてあります。ブドウ園は人の手によって優しく、オーガニックで特別な土地にふさわしい栽培がされています。

Sourced from eight different sites in Napa and Sonoma (it"s labeled Napa County 43% Sonoma County 57%) Spottswoode"s 2021 Sauvignon Blanc was fermented in stainless steel barrels (50%) used French oak (25%) new French oak (20%) and other vessels (5%). The result is a complex textural wine that"s plump on the palate round and silky yet also bright fresh vibrant and long with layers of fig and melon fruit that gradually unfold in the glass. I"ve been deliberately conservative with respect to its aging potential but it"s worth pointing out that a 2012 tasted at the winery was still drinking exceptionally well (91 points).

This was my first visit to Spottswoode an impeccably manicured and historic property on the western outskirts of St. Helena that dates back to 1882. The modern-day Spottswoode story dates back to 1972 when Mary and Jack Novak moved north from Southern California and purchased the house and 30 acres of adjacent property. Fifteen adjoining acres were added the following year and planting grapevines commenced taking place in 1973 and 1975. Today there are 37.5 planted acres mostly Cabernet Sauvignon. In the first few years grapes were sold to other producers but Tony Soter came on board in 1982 as the founding winemaker. He was succeeded by Pam Starr (1992-1996) Rosemary Cakebread (1997-2005) and Jen Williams (2006-2009). The winery was built in 1999; prior to that the wines were made offsite with vineyard management brought in-house in 2003. The vineyards have been farmed organically since 1985 and certified organic since 1992. Replanting took place in stages with portions of the vineyard replaced in 1991 1993 1997 and 1998. Biodynamic principles are applied (Demeter-certified) with great attention paid to regenerative soil practices including rotating cover crops. Along the edges of the vineyards and even embedded within are several insectariums of flowering plants to promote biodiversity plus nesting boxes for swallows bluebirds and birds of prey. The first Certified B Corporation winery in Napa Spottswoode has been recognized with the Robert Parker Green Emblem for sustainability since it was first awarded. Current winemaker and vineyard manager Aron Weinkauf joined the team in 2006 and took over winemaking in 2011 so it was interesting to get his thoughts on an 11-year vertical of the estate Cabernet Sauvignon which was presented blind by Weinkauf and Beth Novak Milliken the winery"s president and CEO. Not knowing which vintage was which made it impossible to be biased by vintage reputation but certain wines still stood out. I found the 2013 disappointing for its closed overly tannic nature while Weinkauf said "It"s always had more tannins than any other vintage. This is probably the best it"s tasted in years." As I"ve tasted better bottles in the past owners of it may want to let it sleep several more years before pulling a cork and hope that initial reviews were more accurate than this impression. The other slight disappointment was the 2017 which again seemed less richly fruited than normal and slightly green and astringent. I suspect it"s simply at an awkward stage in its evolution. On the positive side probably most notable was the brilliant showing of the yet-to-bottled 2020 (scheduled to occur near the end of August 2022). Picking wrapped up the day before the Glass Fire started said Weinkauf. All the 2020 vintage talk has focused on the risk of smoke taint but this beautiful wine is the product of a fairly warm vintage one without dramatic heat spikes. The 2011 from a cool much-maligned vintage showed tremendous finesse and complexity. My favorite of the bottled wines was the 2012 a gloriously seductive and complete effort that is drinking well now and it should continue to do so for another two decades. In addition we tasted two vintages of the Sauvignon Blanc which combines fruit from Sonoma and Napa and the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Lyndenhurst which includes approximately 40% estate fruit and 60% purchased fruit largely from growers in St. Helena Oak Knoll and Atlas Peak. That wine was previously reviewed on November 30 2021 (93 points) and as my impressions were largely consistent with that review I"ve not bothered to repeat it. In summary although I found more vintage variation among the estate Cabernet than my predecessor here at RPWA I think some of that can be attributed to the format of the blind vertical tasting which in retrospect seemed to emphasize the differences between the wines. I should point out that despite that there is a strong continuous stylistic thread woven throughout. The wines emphasize balance and elegance over sheer power and ripeness with restrained alcohol levels silky tannins and a complex but subtle interweaving of gentle herbal nuances with fruit that ranges from cherry and black cherry through cassis. Having participated on two occasions in the Cape Mentelle International Cabernet Tasting where the Spottswoode wine has been presented blind in the company of 19 other world-class efforts I will unequivocally state that Spottswoode belongs on that same stage with such international luminaries as Ornellaia Cos d"Estournel and Cullen"s Diana Madeline.
