Located in St Helena, Spottswoode is a family-owned estate that has been producing wine for multiple generations. There are currently 17 hectares of vines planted, and the vineyards have been certified organic since 1992. This Cabernet Sauvignon from the 1991 vintage is in a great spot right now, evoking aromas of blackberries, cassis, lilac and sage. The palate is elegant and nuanced, combining notes of black fruit, layers of flowers, cedar, spice and sweet oak.

Vinous
Fully mature scents of redcurrant and cedar plus a hint of orange zest. Quite suave and fine-grained on entry, offering red berry and cedar flavors. The middle palate displays some verve but this bottle is past its peak. Finishes with serious, dusty, somewhat drying tannins. Like so many 1991s, this wine could have used a bit more concentration. I'd drink it over the next few years. (13.9% alcohol)Stephen Tanzer1st July 2018
