Winemaker Notes: Get ready for an opulent Spottswoode that is generous with its many attributes. Sporting a very expressive cloak of dark cherries, blackberries and plum fruits, its perfumey nose hints of licorice, lavender and cedar opening to fresh and inviting flavors–vanilla, malt, cinnamon and nutmeg integrate with balanced complexity–capped off by tannins that are friendly and congenial. A spectacularly demonstrative vintage!
