Spottswoode
Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Napa Valley, California, USA

Medium ruby quite wide ruby garnet rim , quite pale in appearance overall . Quite spicy , slightly menthol on the nose , with spice , dusty notes , red currant , red plum , sous bois , violet and tobacco hints . On the palate there is more fruit with more red currant , red plum , some cherry and sweet blackberry . There is nice fresh acidity and rounded sweet tannin that is pretty much resolved . Quite sweet red fruited and elegant, though slightly short on the finish. This is still showing well though will not improve . Now over the next 5 years

Dec 25th, 2024Slight soy, a sea spray/salty character. Lavender rosemary rose petal potpourri. Palate is stunning as well. Elegant and powerful at the same time, texture and balance beautiful. An amazing wine. Still alive and giving. All AxR1 vines, 8x10 spacing, organically farmed for six years. Beautiful, stunning!!
