Spottswoode Cabernet Sauvignon 2003
Wine Advocate
The 2003 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate also reveals tremendous ripeness, but is lighter and not as seamless or persistent as the 2002. The bouquet offers loads of licorice, creme de cassis, and violets followed by a full-bodied palate, and wonderful finesse and richness, but the wine is neither heavy nor overdone. The wood is beautifully integrated and the finish long and stunning. It should drink well for 15+ years.
Score: 93.

Wine Enthusiast
A sturdy young Cabernet showing great harmony and class. It’s fresh in ripe tannins, very poised and balanced, with a great depth of cedary blackberry fruit. This is really classic Napa Cabernet, so elegant, and a great food wine.
Score: 92.
