Description

Spottswoode Cabernet Sauvignon 2015
1lscl, 2ocb
Bottle (12)

Wines from the personal cellar of a prominent Los Angeles restaurateur. All wines purchased on release through natural distribution channels and preserved in a professional temperature and humidity-controlled cellar.

“This bottle of Spottswoode's 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon showed better than the last one I reviewed, with more voluptuous fruit and an expressive, generous personality. Perhaps being double-decanted 20 minutes ahead of service helped. Prominent cedar notes join prune plums, black cherries and a hint of dark chocolate. Full-bodied, this rich, dense and weighty wine closes with a velvety mouthfeel, great length and a seductive touch of licorice.” (97 pts. Joe Czerwinski, Wine Advocate, Oct. 2025)

“The 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon is a potent, dense wine. Huge tannins wrap around a core of dark red/purplish fruit, mocha, new leather, incense and cloves. The 2015 has aged well, but the tannins are overpowering. In its youth, the 2015 was packed with exotic, luscious fruit. Today, that fruit is a touch reticent. Crème de cassis, licorice, lavender and espresso build into the finish.” (96 pts. Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Nov. 2025)

“This is very alluring, with a range of red and black cherry, boyseneberry, mulberry and blackberry fruit that has an ever-so-gently mulled edge, while hints of sage, sassafras, anise and sweet bay weave in and out. The long finish lets in alder smoke and wet slate hints for added range. Shows terrific poise throughout. A stunner right now, but there’s no rush either.” (96 pts. James Molesworth, Wine Spectator, Sept. 2025)
