Score 89/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, May 2010
(blended with 7% cabernet franc) Bright ruby-red. Cassis, black cherry and bitter chocolate aromas lifted by a violet note. Nicely balanced, fruit-driven wine with supple flavors of cassis and boysenberry. The floral quality of the estate's cabernet comes through in spades. Very successful for this second wine thanks to the high quality of the vintage.

About the producer
Spottswoode
Spottswoode is one of those rare Napa estates whose reputation rests less on volume or spectacle than on persistent exactitude. Set on the western edge of St Helena, where the Mayacamas rise and afternoon breezes temper the valley’s warmth, the vineyard occupies a favoured pocket of the appellation.
