WINEMAKER NOTES
2012 Spottswoode Family Estate Grown Cabernet Sauvignon – St. Helena Elegance
The 2012 Spottswoode Family Estate Grown Cabernet Sauvignon stands as a defining vintage for this acclaimed St. Helena estate. Known for its organically farmed vineyards and refined, Bordeaux-inspired style, Spottswoode has long been celebrated as one of Napa Valley’s most graceful expressions of Cabernet Sauvignon.
Tasting Notes
The 2012 vintage reveals an inviting bouquet of black cherry, cassis, and violets, layered with subtle tones of cedar, graphite, and mocha. On the palate, the wine is supple yet structured, with fine-grained tannins supporting ripe fruit and elegant minerality. The finish is long, balanced, and beautifully composed — a hallmark of Spottswoode’s timeless style.
Winemaking & Vineyard Details
Sourced exclusively from the Spottswoode Estate Vineyard in St. Helena, this wine is crafted from a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon with small portions of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. The grapes were hand-harvested, fermented in small stainless steel tanks, and aged for 20 months in French oak barrels, approximately 65% new. The combination of organic farming and precision winemaking captures the vineyard’s distinct character and finesse.
Investment & Collectibility
The 2012 Spottswoode Cabernet Sauvignon is one of the estate’s most lauded vintages, consistently rated among the top Napa Valley Cabernets of the decade. With its balance, complexity, and age-worthiness, it continues to appreciate in reputation and demand among collectors. Perfect for your collection.
Vintage Insights
The 2012 growing season in Napa Valley was near-perfect, with ideal weather from budbreak to harvest. The result was wines of exceptional harmony and depth — a vintage often compared to the region’s modern greats for its combination of richness and poise.
