2009 Spottswoode Family Estate Grown Cabernet Sauvignon – St. Helena Elegance
The 2009 Spottswoode Family Estate Grown Cabernet Sauvignon captures the balance and purity that have made Spottswoode one of Napa Valley’s most admired estates. Family-owned since 1972, Spottswoode’s organically farmed vineyards in St. Helena produce wines celebrated for their precision, age-worthiness, and unmistakable sense of place.
Tasting Notes
The 2009 vintage opens with expressive aromas of blackcurrant, graphite, and violets, framed by subtle notes of cedar and mocha. On the palate, it delivers layers of ripe dark fruit, fine-grained tannins, and remarkable harmony between power and grace. The finish is long, refined, and mineral-driven — classic Spottswoode elegance.
Winemaking & Vineyard Details
Composed primarily of Cabernet Sauvignon with small additions of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, the wine was aged for 20 months in French oak barrels (60 % new). The organically farmed estate vineyards, situated on alluvial clay-loam soils at the foot of the Mayacamas Range, contribute the hallmark balance of freshness and depth that defines the house style.
Investment & Collectibility
The 2009 Spottswoode Cabernet Sauvignon ranks among Napa Valley’s most collectible wines, revered for its finesse and consistent critical acclaim. With production limited and provenance impeccable, it remains a benchmark of Napa Valley craftsmanship. Perfect for your collection.
Vintage Insights
The 2009 vintage brought an ideal growing season to St. Helena — moderate temperatures and a dry harvest period produced Cabernets of pure fruit, supple texture, and early approachability without sacrificing longevity. The result is a poised and beautifully integrated wine with decades of life ahead.
