Spottswoode Cabernet Sauvignon -2003 (WE-66076)

Most Recent Tasting Note:

Profile Image

A sturdy young Cabernet showing great harmony and class. It’s fresh in ripe tannins, very poised and balanced, with a great depth of cedary blackberry fruit. This is really classic Napa Cabernet, so elegant, and a great food wine. 1 Note

Spottswoode Cabernet Sauvignon -2002 (WE-52024)

Most Recent Tasting Note:

Profile Image

The estate is in St. Helena. The wine is dry, tannic and too young, an obvious cellar candidate. Those tannins mask the underlying core of black cherry, black currant and cocoa fruit. This is a lovely, fine Cabernet, rich and supple, that should start showing well by 2010. 1 Note

Spottswoode Cabernet Sauvignon -2004 (WE-78507)

Most Recent Tasting Note:

Profile Image

The ’04 Spottswoode shows the enormous ripeness of the vintage, with lush currant, blackberry jam, chocolate-covered cherry candy and spice flavors, plus an earthier note of sweet green olive tapenade. For all that voluptuous flavor, the wine maintains great structure. Very good now, it will gradually evolve through at least 2012. 1 Note

Spottswoode Cabernet Sauvignon -2005 (WE-94244)

Most Recent Tasting Note:

Profile Image

Tasted in a big lineup of St. Helena Cabernets, Spottswoode’s magnificent ’05 stood out. It’s a massive powerhouse, explosive in black currant, cherry pie, plum, chocolate, anise and cedar flavors that are detailed and precise. However, the wine, which was blended with a little Cabernet Franc, is graceful and balanced. Drinkable now due to its softly refined tannins, but has the integrity to ride out the years. Easy to find, with 3,896 cases produced. 1 Note

Spottswoode Cabernet Sauvignon -2007 (WE-127043)

Most Recent Tasting Note:

Profile Image

Feels a bit common and rustic now, with uneven tannins and some green, minty flavors alongside riper notes of cherries and blackberries. Nicely dry, and shows a certain pedigree, but doesn’t seem quite ripe enough for the long haul. 1 Note
