A Vancouver cellar whose passion in wine dates back to his university days. When he relocated to the San Francisco area he had 50 bottles and within a year he had accumulated nearly 1000. This was partially due to the restricted access to these wines in Canada, combined with the competitive pricing in the US. For these reasons most of his American collection came straight from the wineries, with the balance being sourced from trusted agents and distributors in BC. Everything was stored under constant temperature and humidity control, residing in profession storage until being brought to auction.
2017 Spottswoode Estate Vineyard Winery Estate Grown Cabernet Sauvignon St Helena has following scores - The Wine Advocate 97, The Wine Independent 97, Vinous 96 , James Suckling 96, Wine Enthusiast 96, Decanter 96. 2017 Spottswoode Estate Vineyard Winery Estate Grown Cabernet Sauvignon St Helena has the score of 91+ from Robert Parker and the tasting note -Lighter in hue and less generously fruited than many other recent vintages, Spottswoode's 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon is minty and red-fruited, with cherries dominating the nose and medium-bodied palate. In this tasting, it came across as slightly herbal and astringent on the finish, so perhaps it's merely going through a closed phase in its evolution and will improve from here.
