Lot #827. Spottswoode Cabernet Sauvignon Estate 2000

Description: Consists of 1 Magnum, 1.5L
Score: 93 RP.
"In 2000, Rosemary Cakebread was still in charge, and production soared to more than 5,000 cases for the first time since 1992. This was a challenging vintage in California, but this wine is a real sleeper of that year and certainly one of the vintage’s strongest efforts. This was the first wine made entirely at the new Spottswoode Winery. The blend was identical to so many of the Spottswoode wines: 94% Cabernet Sauvignon and 6% Cabernet Franc. Exotic, rich, blue and black fruits soar from the glass of this wine that seems open-knit, velvety textured and not terribly structured, but possessing beautiful fruit and fragrance. It is a sleeper selection and a beauty of medium body . . ." Wine Advocate #226, Aug 2016
Provenance: The Mont Blanc Cellar
Notes: Very lightly scuffed capsule, very lightly scuffed, very lightly wine stained label.
