A pioneering winery on several levels, Spottswoode was one of the first woman-ran estates in the Valley with the venerable Mary Weber Novak at the helm for decades. If you don't know the story of Spottswoode, come join us here at the shop. We're happy to tell it! From their historic 40 acre vineyard in St. Helena they pursue an elegant, balanced, and age-worthy style that captures the character of every vintage and the complexity of their estate.
Wine Advocate: 100 Points
The brilliant 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon boasts an inky/purple color as well as glorious aromas of spring flowers, lead pencil shavings, licorice and a multitude of wild mountain fruits, in particular black raspberry, blackberry and cassis reminiscent of a French Pauillac (although I always think of Spottswoode as the Chateau Margaux of Napa). With a flawless integration of tannin, wood and acidity, it comes across like a liquid version of haute couture from the house of Chanel. It should drink well young yet age for 25 years.
