Savor this delectable two (2) bottle vertical of Spottswoode Estate Cabernet!



  • 1999 Spottswoode Estate Cabernet Sauvignon Napa

  • 2000 Spottswoode Estate Cabernet Sauvignon Napa


90 points Robert Parker: "The 1999 Cabernet Sauvignon (95% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Cabernet Franc) possesses a deep purple color in addition to a restrained but intense nose of black currants intermixed with lead pencil shavings, subtle toast, and a hint of acacia flowers. This textured, elegant, medium-bodied Cabernet is Chateau Margaux-like in its elegance, gracefulness, and balanced restraint. It displays surprisingly sweet tannin for a 1999 as well as outstanding purity. Anticipated maturity: now-2016."


91 points Robert Parker: "One of the most successful wines for the vintage, Spottswoode’s 2000 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate is more forward and lighter than either of its two younger siblings. However, it is impeccably balanced and seamless, revealing the estate’s classic blueberry, black currant, mineral, and floral characteristics in its moderately intense aromatics. Pure, rich, and well-proportioned, this is a top-flight success in an irregular vintage. Enjoy it over the next 10-12 years."
