95+ The Wine Advocate

...stunningly beautiful and seductive in its red fruit, mint and tobacco... ...exceptional elegance, finesse and pedigree... ...disarmingly sexy and radiant for such a young wine.

90-93Stephen Tanzer

Good full ruby-red. Briary, musky blackberry, bitter chocolate and a whiff of meat on the slightly medicinal nose. Then juicy and penetrating, with brisk, almost peppery acidity for this mountain wine...

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.
