Editorial Reviews for Spottswoode Estate Cabernet Sauvignon
Deep and spicy on the nose with hints of allspice, white pepper, vitamins, vanilla, toast and old chicken bouillon cube all blending for an intriguing, if not totally appealing bouquet. Up front this offer a nice bit of sweet, bright red fruit but the mid-palate becomes dominated by the acidity as it turns harsh and hollow which becomes unrelenting on the moderately long finish. With air this fleshes out a bit as the fruit gains traction and begins to cover the mid-palate but the finish remains raw and aggressive. I’ve had better bottles of this and can only assume that this has seen less than ideal storage over the years. 86pts

...The wine offers a gorgeously deep purple color, a sweet, fragrant nose with a subtle floral component and plenty of blackcurrant/cassis fruit. The oak influence is restrained. Medium to full-bodied, with well-integrated acidity and tannin, this is... Robert Parker. A Cabernet Sauvignon wine from California in USA. 1993 Spottswoode Cabernet Sauvignon 750ml
The classy, rich, well-focused 1992 Cabernet Sauvignon possesses a Chateau Margaux-like fragrance and personality. Neither overblown nor excessively extracted, it is a beautifully made, pure, cassis-dominated wine with well-integrated toasty new oak.... Robert Parker.

Still young and firm, this delivers spicy plum and chocolate flavors; it's polished, balanced and intense. Approachable now.--Spottswoode vertical. Best after 2000. 4,750 cases made. -TM Wine Spectator. A Cabernet Sauvignon wine from California in USA. 1990 Spottswoode Cabernet Sauvignon 750ml
