Vintage: 2021

$289.99

Spottswoode Estate Vineyard & Winery, located in the renowned Napa Valley, is celebrated for its commitment to producing exceptional wines with a focus on sustainability and organic farming. The Spottswoode Cabernet Sauvignon is a testament to their dedication, crafted from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon grapes grown on their estate. This wine hails from the St. Helena appellation, a sub-region of Napa Valley known for its ideal climate and soil conditions for Cabernet Sauvignon. The winemaking process involves meticulous hand-harvesting, fermentation in stainless steel tanks, and aging in French oak barrels, which imparts a refined complexity to the wine. The flavor profile is rich and layered, featuring notes of dark berries, cassis, and a hint of mocha, supported by a firm tannin structure and balanced acidity. This wine pairs beautifully with hearty dishes such as grilled steak, lamb, or aged cheeses.

Pure black currants on the nose with an incredible al dente grape character. It’s almost like grape must. Undertone of ink and violets and sandalwood. Perfumed. Hints of spearmint. Full-bodied, but so well-formed and reserved. A touch of mint on the palate with dark fruits. It is very complete and reminds me of the classy Spottswoode 2001. I keep being impressed with the purity of fruit with the earthy undertones and stones. Savory. A fitting 40th anniversary wine. 90% cabernet sauvignon, 7% cabernet franc, and 3% petit verdot. Best after 2027.
