In 2002 very small yields produced only about 3,000 cases at 14.7% natural alcohol and a blend of 94% Cabernet Sauvignon and 6% Cabernet Franc. This wine is going from strength to strength since I first tasted it prior to bottling. Now a perfect wine, the incredible perfume of blueberries, black raspberries and cassis, along with white flowers and camphor is extraordinarily fragrant and intense. That is easily matched by the magnificent full-bodied richness and compellingly layered mouthfeel of this wine that is rich, full-bodied and a still youthful vintage that remains capable of another 25-30 years of cellaring. This is a dramatic vintage for Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, and it is always fascinating to taste a top winery’s 2001 and 2002 next to each other because they are both such great years. However, the 2002s tend to be the more flamboyant wines, and the 2001s the more structured and broodingly backward.Robert Parker31st August 2016

Deep, saturated red-ruby. Ripe, almost liqueur-like black raspberry and truffle on the nose; and yet there's something very youthful about this. Generous, plush and sweet but with a tangy raspberry flavor keeping the wine in check. Rich, deep and wonderfully youthful. A touch of menthol emerges with air. A beautiful result from a hot year, despite having the highest alcohol (14.7%) of any vintage of Spottswoode to date.Stephen Tanzer1st June 2016
