Merchant's description

Spottswoode Estate Cabernet Sauvignon 2005 originates from the historic, organically farmed estate vineyard in St. Helena, California, established in 1882. This wine is principally Cabernet Sauvignon, accompanied by small amounts of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. The vineyard benefits from alluvial clay loam and maritime influences, contributing to the wine`s structure. The 2005 vintage presents notes of dark fruit, including blackcurrant and blackberry, alongside hints of cedar and graphite. Aged in French oak barrels for approximately 22 months, this Cabernet Sauvignon illustrates the producer’s commitment to craftsmanship and longevity.
