Spottswoode Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 1995 (1.5L)

$47999

Spottswoode's 1995 stands as a monument to St. Helena's greatest decade. This family-estate Cabernet, crafted when the winery was at the height of its powers, weaves spring flowers and crème de cassis with lead-pencil minerality and cedarwood. Nearly 30 years of evolution have softened its once-formidable tannins while deepening the wine's elegance and finesse. The 1.5L format captures the wine's current sweetness—a fully mature expression of Napa's golden age.

"Spottswoode’s 1995 Cabernet Sauvignon is a fabulous choice for drinking now and over the next handful of years. Sensual and intensely perfumed, but with plenty of underlying grip, the 1995 is super-expressive today. Sweet red cherry, plum, hard candy, mint and crushed flowers are all fused together. Silky and soft contours add to the wine’s considerable appeal. The 1995 is a decidedly ripe, open-knit, yet also deceptively mid-weight Cabernet from Spottswoode that should continue to age gracefully on its impeccable balance." —Vinous

"A blend of 95% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Cabernet Franc, and the last wine made by Pam Starr at Rombauer Vineyards, the 1995 offers worthy competition to the magnificent 1994, which was more highly heralded. A touch of spring flowers, intermixed with crème de cassis, licorice, lead-pencil shavings and cedar, are all present in this wine of great intensity and full-bodied power, but with an elegance and finesse that, again, similarly suggests a Château Margaux made in St. Helena. This beautiful wine should continue to drink well for another 25 years." —Robert Parker

"A complex web of mature currant, cedar, mocha and plum are ripe and vibrant, with a hint of wild berry jam peeking through on the finish. Impressive for its balance and integration of tannins, which are supple."
