9/2/2016 - skurtz Likes this wine: 93 pointsDecanted at 1862 restaurant. A solid well made CA cab, characteristic mineral and fruit, this expression was especially abundant in balanced red cherries, which I appreciated. |

8/23/2016 - sunnylea57 wrote: flawedLast bottle from a case of six. The first five were fantastic, but this one had a protruding cork (about 1/8") so I had my doubts about it. The cork was soaked nearly to the top and was very spongy. The result: good fruit masked by a whole lot of acetone. The VA just sucked the life out of the wine. It was very narrow and hollow. |

8/18/2016 - Schwarzer Hund Likes this wine: NRAlmost identical notes compared to the bottle we opened last month with the exception of much more tobacco noted on palate. The wine has matured very well and we expect to enjoy our remaining bottles over the next few years. |

8/5/2016 - bobh22314 Likes this wine: 95 pointstasted along side 2009 larkmead. give this one a couple of points on the larkmead. More fruit more everything. drinking beautifully now, but feel that it could soften with a bit more time. Still dark ruby to the rim, full with a long finish. |

8/11/2016 - michael47 Likes this wine: 95 pointsDark and concentrated, bit reductive when first decanted but blossomed into a classic cassis-driven Napa cab with loads of fruit, structure and a fair amount of tanins. |

7/27/2016 - bestdamncab Likes this wine: 97 points5 Cabernet Sauvignons tasted from the 1980s. Nose of black cherry, black currants, cassis and plum, same on the palate, elegant, terrific tasting, got better and better throughout dinner that lasted for 3 hours, big body, rich fruit, good acid, flavorful and long on the finish and what an aftertaste, made you want another taste. My #1 of 5, Two second place votes and another first place vote. |

Gorgeous aromatics, and the palate has that glorious mouth filling black cherry, perfect acid balance and tannins that provide structure. Lovely finish. Yes, it could last years, but I wouldn't necessarily wait if I had more. My last, and best, bottle. |

6/18/2016 - levinml wrote: 92 pointsNot sure exactly on this one. Seemed pretty substantial for a 2011 cab, but may have been too young to get a fair appraisal. Seemed to have the components, but not sure it tasted good enough for what I expect from Spottswoode. Time will tell. |
