This grenache heavy Spring Mountain Rhone Blend has great bones... Notes of sage, red fruits, flowers, pepper & herbs is high toned and well made! This wine will be fun to drink through out the next decade!

The 1998's have proven to be one of the great Napa vintages after enough time in the cellar... The 1998 Spottswoode Cabernet was remarkable. With 23 years of age, this bottle had plenty of life left. Beautiful notes of dried tobacco, spice box, black and red fruit, anise, dried herbs with a hint of graphite, this wine was in great shape. 1998 Spottswoode Cab is everything you'd want and expect from a classically built, well aged bottle of St. Helena Cabernet!

2007 Amore is cherry red on the edges getting darker in the middle. It is vibrant with notes of Blueberries, Strawberries with a hint of blackberry and does have alcohol in the nose when first opened! Solid palate feel, with a medium to light body! Overall I think this wine is good though it throws me for a loop since it is built with mostly Sangiovese yet doesn't express the key notes that Sangiovese is known for! Terroir does matter!!! 84 points DP
