Spottswoode Estate Grown Cabernet Sauvignon St. Helena
$245.99
Winemaker’s Tasting Notes
Rich aromas of ripe black cherry, Mission fig and dark chocolate
mingle with a spice box of clove and nutmeg. The palate is filled with
flavors of juicy blackberry and boysenberry that are enveloped in
silky tannins, showing complexity beyond its years. Enticing flavors of
fresh vanilla bean and hazelnut carry through a velvety richness that
lingers on the finish. Enjoy now after decanting for 45 minutes or cellar
through 2038.
Description
About the producer
Spottswoode is a family-owned historic vineyard and winery renowned for its exceptional Cabernet Sauvignon. Established in 1882 by George Schonewald, the estate is distinguished by the pre-prohibition Victorian home depicted on the wine label. Spottswoode was christened by Mrs. Albert Spotts in 1910 and it was acquired by Mary and Jack Novak in 1972. Mary released Spottswoode’s first Cabernet Sauvignon in 1982, exactly one hundred years after the estate’s founding. Today, Mary’s daughter Beth Novak Milliken manages the winery, and daughter Lindy Novak serves as the winery’s Marketing Ambassador. Every year Spottswoode releases an Estate Cabernet Sauvignon and an Estate Sauvignon Blanc in honor of founder, Mary Novak. In addition, Spottswoode produces a Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon called Lyndenhurst, a dual-appellation Spottswoode Sauvignon Blanc, and two limited-production wines for club members only (Spottswoode Estate “Mary’s Block” Sauvignon Blanc and Field Book Syrah). The Novak family is committed to producing wines with integrity that faithfully reflect their grape origins, and Spottswoode wines are especially known for their refined elegance, balance, and classic structure.
