This cracking Napa Cabernet from St. Helena star Spottswoode is very much a baby, and drinking it now is definitely robbing the cradle. It has intense aromas of black fruit, anise, cocoa, and vanilla and a deep core of black currant with hints of kirsch and raspberry. As much as it's a very powerful wine, it also has lively acidity and a freshness and balance to it that's a hallmark of Spottswoode's excellent wine making program. I think this release has a bright future after another couple of years in the bottle. (97 Points)
