Score 88/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, May 2011

(includes 2.5% cabernet franc): Good bright medium red. Sexy, inviting aromas of redcurrant, red cherry and flowers. A suave, lightly saline midweight combining redcurrant, raspberry and plum flavors and subtle soil tones. Offers very good but not outstanding definition. Finishes with slightly dry but essentially light tannins.

About the producer

Spottswoode
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.
