Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

Boldly aromatic with top notes of white florals and green apple, followed by layers of fresh citrus. The palate offers a vibrant yet restrained acidity and provides structure for flavors of stone fruits like apricot, and a citrus mèlange, with hints of pear and minerality to provide an intriguing counterpoint. The wine shows a sense of silkiness without losing its acidity. Flavors and aromatics develop and linger through the finish.

    Looking first at the 2019 Sauvignon Blanc, this light gold-hued Sauvignon has a Bordeaux Blanc-like style as well as rich peach, honeysuckle, melon, and white flower-like aromas and flavors. With building richness, some toasty notes, and medium to full body, drink this outstanding Sauvignon over the coming 2-3 years.

Elizabeth Spencer Winemaking Team Winery Image

Elizabeth Spencer Winery, founded in 1998, begins with a belief that wine should be delicious, inviting, and representative of its place of origin, which is evident in every bottle. Balanced, elegant, and approachable, Elizabeth Spencer wines are made from grapes grown in Northern California’s finest wine regions, focusing on Napa Valley, Sonoma Coast, and Mendocino. They consider themselves stewards of the land, with a profound responsibility to pass along a clean environment and revitalized, healthy soil to future generations. They look to the future with a focus on farming practices and partnering with growers that have an equal commitment to the land.

Elizabeth Spencer Winery is the realization of a dream by husband-and-wife team Elizabeth Pressler and Spencer Graham, a couple who each enjoyed successful careers in the wine industry and share a love and respect for wine. With a "partners in life and partners in wine" philosophy their wines were built on the importance of strong relationships.

In 2005, they acquired the 1872 brick Post Office building on the corner of Rutherford Road and Hwy 29 and restored the historic property which opened in May 2006 for tastings. 

In 2021, Elizabeth Spencer Winery joined Boisset Collection where its legacy will continue. Under the leadership of Jean-Charles Boisset, Elizabeth Spencer Winery will continue to build upon and cultivate its strong relationships.

Led by winemaker Sarah Vandendriessche, the wines of Elizabeth Spencer are balanced, elegant and approachable. Made to drink among friends and family, they are inviting, accessible in their youth, display ample fruit and are characterized by intensity and purity of flavor. Working closely with growers, they produce singular varietal wines from grapes grown in the most recognized areas in Northern California, ensuring each wine is a true reflection of its appellation.

Heidi Peterson Barrett, renowned Napa Valley Winemaker, has joined Elizabeth Spencer as Consulting Winemaker, beginning with the 2022 vintage. She will be working closely with Winemaker Sarah Vandendriessche

"We love Napa Valley… we want to be in every village of our valley; and as a Frenchman, Rutherford has been a dream of mine for many years … It breathes the story of wine and the origins of this great valley." –Jean Charles Boisset

Capable of a vast array of styles, Sauvignon Blanc is a crisp, refreshing variety that equally reflects both terroir and varietal character. Though it can vary depending on where it is grown, a couple of commonalities always exist—namely, zesty acidity and intense aromatics. This variety is of French provenance. Somm Secret—Along with Cabernet Franc, Sauvignon Blanc is a proud parent of Cabernet Sauvignon. That green bell pepper aroma that all three varieties share is no coincidence—it comes from a high concentration of pyrazines (herbaceous aromatic compounds) inherent to each member of the family.

Reaching up California's coastline and into its valleys north of San Francisco, the North Coast AVA includes six counties: Marin, Solano, Napa, Sonoma, Mendocino and Lake. While Napa and Sonoma enjoy most of the glory, the rest produce no shortage of quality wines in an intriguing and diverse range of styles.

Climbing up the state's rugged coastline, the chilly Marin County, just above the City and most of Sonoma County, as well as Mendocino County on the far north end of the North Coast successfully grow cool-climate varieties like Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and in some spots, Riesling. Inland Lake County, on the other hand, is considerably warmer, and Cabernet Sauvignon, Zinfandel and Sauvignon Blanc produce some impressive wines with affordable price tags.
