winemaker's notes:

The 1987 vintage of this wine was ranked #9 on the Wine Spectator's Top 10 Wines of 1990

The 2008 has an absolutely beautiful, full nose of black fruits (boysenberry and blackberry) with notes of camphor, clove, and cedar. Wonderful ripe tannins, with hints of graphite and warm fireplace ash. Great length. Beautifully knitted, this complex, multi-layered wine showcases the Spottswoode Estate Cabernet Sauvignon at its best.

Blend: 92.4% Cabernet Sauvignon and 7.6% Cabernet Franc

alcohol by volume: 14.1%
critical acclaim:

"The 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon exhibits a glorious perfume of spring flowers, blueberries and black currants, good acidity and serious tannins as well as concentration. It is slightly more restrained and backward than the seamless, compelling 2007, but the 2008 possesses lots of stuffing as well as elegance married with purity, power and rare equilibrium. Drink it over the next 2-3 decades.
Rating: 95+"
