RATINGS

92+ Vinous / IWC

…hits the palate with a burst of super-ripe red cherry and pomegranate fruit. Bold and sumptuous... Expressive floral notes add perfume to the bold finish.

92James Suckling

...very ripe dark-plum and chocolate aromas with rich mulberries and roasting herbs...palate delivers a silky and luxurious core of ripe black-cherry and chocolate flavors in a smoothly rendered style.

91The Wine Advocate

...open-knit notes of fresh blackcurrants, blackberries and red and black plums with touches of dried Provence herbs, black olives and fragrant earth. The palate is full-bodied with loads of vibrant red and black fruit and plenty of herbal sparks in the mouth, framed by grainy tannins and finishing with a lively lift.

90+ Jeb Dunnuck

...plum sauce, spice, licorice, sage, and dried earth aromas and flavors. It's fleshy, full-bodied, and has some firm tannins as well as solid length on the finish.

REGION

United States, California, Napa Valley, Spring Mountain District

Spring Mountain AVA is above the town of St. Helena on the eastern slopes of the Mayacamas Mountains. There is no actual Spring Mountain, but the name has traditionally been used for the area, which includes many streams and springs. Spring Mountain was awarded appellation status in 1993 and it includes about 1,000 vineyard acres. Vineyard elevations are high, from 400 to 2,600 feet above sea level. Because of the altitude of most vineyards, which are above the fog line, mornings become warm earlier than vineyards on the valley floor, though the afternoons are cooled by maritime winds. The result is an exceptionally long growing season. Cabernet Sauvignon is the most frequently planted grape by acreage, followed by Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Chardonnay.

TYPE

Red Wine, Cabernet Sauvignon

One of the most widely grown grape varieties, it can be found in nearly every wine growing region. A cross between Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon Blanc. It’s a hardy vine that produces a full-bodied wine with high tannins and great aging potential.
