This is another set of gorgeous wines, from Spottswoode, a historic property in the center of St. Helena. The flagship Cabernet rightly gets most of the attention, but some of the other wines, the Lyndenhurst Cabernet and Syrah Story Book in particular, are also worth taking a look at. In addition to these wines, I also tasted a few older vintages that reinforce my impression that in recent years proprietor Beth Novak Milliken and Winemaker Aron Weinkauf have moved towards a greater emphasis on finesse.

Proprietor Beth Novak Milliken and her team headed by Winemaker and Vineyard Manager Aron Weinkauf and Assistant Winemaker Landon Donley have done a terrific job with these new and upcoming releases. Nowhere is that more evident than in the 2011s, which are quite impressive, especially considering the vintage. The 2012s are consistent with the year, while the 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon is shaping up to be another stellar effort. It all starts in the vineyard, though, and this historic St. Helena site is one of the very best.
