Spottswoode Estate Cabernet Sauvignon 2018

Spottswoode Estate Cabernet Sauvignon 2018 is a superb Napa Valley red that captures the estate’s signature blend of power, elegance, and precision. Crafted from carefully farmed estate fruit, it reflects both the distinctive terroir of Spottswoode and the winery’s long-standing commitment to quality, making it one of the most compelling Cabernet-based wines from California.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows a deep ruby color, hinting at its concentration and intensity. The nose is layered and inviting, with aromas of blackcurrant, black cherry, cedar, spice, and subtle accents of tobacco and dark chocolate. The palate is full-bodied and beautifully balanced, with silky tannins, vibrant structure, and a generous core of dark fruit. A polished frame of acidity and oak brings length and finesse to the finish. While approachable now, it has the depth and structure to age gracefully for many years, gaining further complexity over time.

Production
The wine is made primarily from Cabernet Sauvignon, with supporting amounts of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, all sourced from Spottswoode’s meticulously tended estate vineyards in Napa Valley, California. The fruit is carefully harvested and vinified to preserve purity and structure, then matured in French oak barrels to add nuance, texture, and complexity while allowing the estate character to shine through.

Food & Serving
This Cabernet Sauvignon pairs beautifully with grilled ribeye, roasted lamb, braised short ribs, or aged hard cheeses. Serve at 16–18°C and consider decanting for about 1–2 hours if drinking young, to help the wine open up and fully express its aromatics and texture.
