Cabernet Sauvignon

Spottswoode is a historic, family-owned estate on the western edge of St. Helena in Napa Valley, established in 1882 and owned by the Novak family since 1972. The family began making its own wines in 1982 and today the estate remains under second-generation stewardship. Farming has been organic since 1985, with biodynamic practices introduced in 2008; the estate is certified CCOF Organic, Demeter Biodynamic, Regenerative Organic Certified, and B Corp certified, and is also active in climate and environmental initiatives. Its alluvial clay-loam soils from the Sulphur Creek fan and cool maritime breezes support slow, even ripening. Spottswoode is best known for Cabernet Sauvignon and Sauvignon Blanc, produced in an elegant, balanced, age-worthy style that emphasizes vineyard character and vintage expression.
