{"product_id":"spottswoode-cabernet-sauvignon-st-helena-napa-valley-1997","title":"Spottswoode, Cabernet Sauvignon St Helena Napa Valley 1997","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eA blend of 95% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Cabernet Franc, the 1997 is just short of perfection from this great vintage in Napa Valley. A spectacular wine, it was the first made by Rosemary Cakebread. Production was quite high, as the new plantings started to fully produce, with 4,800+ cases declared. This is wine that fills the olfactory senses with gorgeous ripeness, blueberries, black raspberries, blackberries and cassis, while spring flowers and a touch of oak still lingers in the aromatics. When the wine hits the palate, the extraordinary intensity, purity and multi-dimensional complexity all seem to converge with a cascade of fruit, glycerin and richness. Like most Spottswoode Cabernet Sauvignons, it is only 13.8% alcohol. This is a magnificent wine, a young adolescent in the scheme of its potentially fascinating evolution and should have a good 25-30+ years left in it – although it’s strutting its stuff at present. Certainly in the first two decades of Spottswoode wines this is clearly one of the most compelling efforts.\"  (2016)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Andy Consignment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45670941819087,"sku":null,"price":305.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0599\/3021\/4607\/files\/IMG_8136.jpg?v=1785555765","url":"https:\/\/florwines.com\/products\/spottswoode-cabernet-sauvignon-st-helena-napa-valley-1997","provider":"Flor Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
