RATINGS

98The Wine Advocate

...energetic blackcurrant cordial, black raspberries and ripe plums scents plus suggestions of cumin seed, fragrant earth, mossy tree bark and crushed rocks. Full-bodied, firm and taut on the palate, with fine-grained tannins and lovely layers, this is also really minerally and has a long finish.

97+ Jeb Dunnuck

...notable freshness in its aromatics and offers impressive blue fruits, cedar, forest floor, bouquet garni, and spring flower-like aromas and flavors. These carry to a concentrated, full-bodied mountain Cabernet that has terrific mid-palate depth, building tannins, flawless balance, and a great, great finish.

94Wine Spectator

...steeped plum and mulled black currant and fig fruit flavors, yet the texture is fleshy and seductive, with anise, warm fruitcake and wood spice accents filling in. The graphite spine is deeply embedded, giving this form without intruding.

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.
