Spottswoode Estate Cabernet Sauvignon 2016 is a Napa Valley red wine that showcases the extraordinary balance and freshness of the 2016 growing season. The wine is defined by its seamless transition from the mid-palate to a long mineral finish that demonstrates remarkable technical precision. It is widely regarded as one of the most successful vintages in the long history of the estate.

Spottswoode's 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon is absolutely gorgeous. Medium in body, translucent and super-expressive, the 2016 is sublime, not to mention on the understated side of things for the year. Dark red cherry, red plum, mocha and espresso add lovely shades of nuance. The 2016 is racy, but also clearly holding back much of its ultimate potential. I imagine the 2016 will always be a wine of finesse, first and foremost.Antonio Galloni1st January 2020

85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Cabernet Franc, 6% Petit Verdot, aged 20 months in 60% new French oak barrels. Farmed organically since 1985 (certified 1992) and now embraces biodynamic principles.Brambly and peppery on the nose, this is spicy, complex and enticing. The palate is fleshy and rounded, with waves of black fruit balanced by fine-grained tannins and bright acidic lift. This tightens on the back end, with good length but quite toasty oak at this stage. It should knit together very well, offering generous fruit but fine balance. (TP)
