Description
 
Rating: 95 Points (James Suckling)

"A solid Spottswoode with mint, currants, berries and flowers. Sweet tobacco and rose petals. Full body with silky tannins and a long, long finish. Tangy, energetic and lively. A wine with form, tension and beauty. This is classic California. Blend: 89% cabernet sauvignon, 8% cabernet franc and 3% petit verdot."

Winemaker's Notes:

"The 2011 Cabernet is captivating - beautifully capturing the essence of the Spottswoode Estate vineyard in this cooler-than-normal vintage. The winemaker's descriptors include, "ripe black cherry, blackberry, nutmeg, dark chocolate, juicy ripeness with a hint of dried sage, graphite, concentrated black tea, ripe cranberry, and bay leaf." The fruit characters are dynamic and vivacious, sharing layers of minerality, floralness, spices and herbs.

Where some vintages get their strength from pure muscle and brawn, the 2011 draws its strength from its core and its finesse - much the same way a yogi exhibits strength and balance versus a weightlifter's brute heft."
