Description:
2002 will be noted for being a labor-intensive, low-yield year in the vineyard, with the ensuing wines being aromatic, robust and complex. Vines at Spottswoode pushed early, due to the relatively mild temperatures and low rainfall we experienced in February. The growing season was long and cooperative, with the exception of a couple heat spikes late in the season-typical of our Napa Valley weather patterns. Fog returned to provide those coveted cool mornings in which to pick our Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc grapes. The 2002 Vintage exhibits the characteristics we have come to expect from the Spottswoode Estate - blackberry, clove and baking spices. Rose petal is very prominent from the addition of Cabernet Franc. The tannins are polished yet firm, the wine worthy of further aging.
