winemaker's notes:
Classic, youthful Spottswoode! Forward, fresh and fruity, this cabernet is robust and impressive with plenty of blueberry, strawberry and raspberry to spare. Dense, yet supple and lively, we look forward to sampling the '97 for years to come.
alcohol by volume:
75.0%
critical acclaim:
"Elegantly framed, with rich, appealing herb, currant, chocolate and black cherry flavor that's complex and concentrated, finishing with firm, well-integrated tannins. Best from 2002 through 2010. 4,826 cases made."

Wine Spectator
"The 1997 Cabernet Sauvignon is a model of symmetry and grace deftly married with super concentrated blueberry, blackberry, and cassis flavors infused with subtle new wood. This medium to full-bodied, seamless, youthful beauty will benefit from 2-3 years of cellaring, and should last for two decades. "

The Wine Advocate
"Ruby-red. Sweeter, deeper aromas of boysenberry, blackberry, licorice, bitter chocolate and espresso. Lusher and more layered in the mouth; sweetness nicely leavened by sound acidity. More ripeness and material apparent on the generous back end.
Rating: 91(+?)"
