Reviews of 2000 Spottswoode Cabernet Sauvignon
91 points, Robert Parker, Wine Advocate
December 2003
One of the most successful wines for the vintage, Spottswoode’s 2000 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate is more forward and lighter than either of its two younger siblings. However, it is impeccably balanced and seamless, revealing the estate’s classic blueberry, black currant, mineral, and floral characteristics in its moderately intense aromatics. Pure, rich, and well-proportioned, this is a top-flight success in an irregular vintage. Enjoy it over the next 10-12 years. Tel. (707) 963-0134; Fax (707) 963-2886

August 2002
There are 5,200 cases of the 2000 Cabernet Sauvignon, a blend of 94% Cabernet Sauvignon and 6% Cabernet Franc. This is one of Napa's most promising Cabernets of the vintage. It exhibits a deep ruby/purple color along with sweet aromas of creme de cassis intermixed with licorice and spice box. The wine is seamless, elegant, and intense with plenty of up-front fruit, but not the muscle and overall structure of the 1999. It possesses a strong mid-palate and length, something many 2000s lack. Drink it when released and over the following 12-15 years. (Price not yet determined) Tel. (707) 963-0134; Fax (707) 963-2886

A curious mix of rich, racy, rustic wild berry, currant and earthy-leathery flavors that turn progressively drier and more earthy. Drink now through 2012. 5,674 cases made. –JL
About 2000 Spottswoode Cabernet Sauvignon
About the Winery Spottswoode
Spottswoode is a family-owned historic vineyard and
winery renowned for its exceptional Cabernet Sauvignon. Established in
1882 by George Schonewald, the estate is distinguished by the historic
Victorian home depicted on the Spottswoode label. Spottswoode was
christened by Mrs. Albert Spotts, who owned the property from 1910
until its purchase in 1972 by Mary Weber Novak and her late husband,
Dr. Jack Novak. The first Spottswoode Cabernet Sauvignon was produced
in 1982, exactly one hundred years after the estate’s founding.
Today,
two of Mary’s daughters, Beth and Lindy, work for the family winery
that each year releases three very special wines: the Spottswoode
Estate Cabernet Sauvignon, Spottswoode Sauvignon Blanc, and the
recently-introduced Lyndenhurst Cabernet Sauvignon. The Novak family is
committed to producing wines that faithfully reflect their grape
origins. Each Spottswoode wine is known for its refined elegance,
balance, and classic structure. Dedicated stewards of their property,
the Novaks have farmed organically since 1985 and have pioneered the
restoration of their local watershed.
