About Spottswoode Vineyard
Part of the old guard in Napa Valley, Spottswoode was established in the first wave of vine planting, back in 1882. Christened by Mrs. Albert Spotts in 1910, Spottswoode is now managed by Mary Novak and her two children, Beth and Lindy. Over the past two decades, Spottswoode has been one of the most consistent Cabernet producers of California, with a track record for graceful bottle aging.

Dark ruby purple; dusty black pepper appears amidst black plums and currants with some lead pencil and earth overtones; black cherry fruit, very ripe and fresh, with an inner core of blackberry, has an elegant structure, soft ripe fruit, kirsch at mid-palate with ripe raspberry and cherry notes, cocoa and clove appear in the fleshy, long fruit finish.
