Spottswoode

Case Format: 75cl

Max score: 88

Drink To: 2023-2030

Spottswoode is a family wine estate in Napa that has been growing grapes since 1972 and making wine since 1982, farming the estate organically since 1985; it is today run by two dynamic women, sisters Beth Novak Millikin, who serves as President and CEO, and Lindy Novak, who is National Marketing Director. Situated on the western edge of St. Helena in Napa Valley, the Spottswoode Estate terroir is ideal for winegrowing. The alluvial clay loam from the Sulphur Creek fan provides superb drainage while cool maritime breezes passing between Spring Mountain and the Mayacamas range allow the fruit to ripen evenly. Stunning notes of black cherry and currants create a sense of both warmth and freshness. Secondary flavors of pomegranate, pine, earth, and sandalwood complement a backbone of vibrant acidity. The refined tannins are structured yet velvety, showcasing the power, elegance, and finesse of this classic wine.

Antonio Galloni

The 2020 Cabernet Sauvignon shows good up front fruit, but that fades pretty quickly, ultimately exposing a compact mid-palate and abrupt, drying finish. This is a fine record of the year, but there is no way to get past the significant challenges 2020 posed.
