Spottswoode Estate Cabernet Sauvignon 2022 750ml
The Wine Independent, Lisa Perrotti-Brown 97+ POINTS
The 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon sports a deep garnet-purple color. After as little swirling, expressive
notes of blackcurrant jelly, kirsch, and juicy plums emerge from the glass, leading to touches of crushed
rocks, iron ore, lavender, and cloves. The medium-bodied palate had a rock-solid backbone of firm
grainy tannins and wonderful freshness supporting the densely packed black fruit layers, finishing on
a lingering ferrous note. Exemplary. (January 8, 2025)

This week’s report reinforces the view that many delicious, effusive wines were made and that the
vintage offers pleasure in spades.
Jim also reviewed the 2022 Spottswoode Estate Cabernet Sauvignon, an icon for elegance in a
classic Napa style, and remarked on its pretty fruit and a rather soft texture. It’s not overly full-bodied,
so it’s a vintage that’s drinkable young.
This wine shows pretty fruit and a rather soft texture. It’s not overly full-bodied, so it’s a vintage
that’s drinkable young. Aged in 65% new oak. Mild, creamy, layered tannins. Easy and gorgeous.
Drink now. A must buy. (November 21, 2024)

Looking at the flagship, it’s a blend of mostly Cabernet Sauvignon with smaller amounts of Cabernet
Franc and Petit Verdot, raised all in barrel. Its deep purple hue is followed by classic notes of crème de
cassis, new leather, graphite, and spring flowers. This carries to a medium-bodied, beautifully balanced,
layered, elegant Cabernet that will benefit from 5-6 years of bottle age, which is incredibly rare for a
2022 and will evolve for two decades. Outstanding wines. These wines are outstanding for their type
and are worth the extra effort to seek out. (January 8, 2025)
