Dark rye toast, blackest of currant, raisin and dried plum complement a nose of toasted sesame and maduro tobacco. Palate shows grill char, burnt brittle, toffee and resin knit into a rich and comforting blanket of espresso, bakers chocolate, black and red currant, blackberry, violet extract, cinnamon and Madagascar vanilla. At once a treat and a depth charge!

Vacation day in Tahoe, so we opened this beauty for 1 hour before dinner. We enjoyed it all the way through. Sweet nose, smooth, with a balance of choice fruit. Wow! #springmountain — 9 years ago

Epic bottle of classic Cabernet made with great care very quiet at first, but opened and opened over the course of two hours in the decanter. Fleshy black fruit, soft silky texture, very fine. #pauldraper #springmountain — 11 years ago

Delectable Featured Wine

A renowned historic gem of Napa’s #SpringMountain, School House’s Syrah-dominant blend nods towards Southern Rhône’s Châteauneuf-du-Pape. With lusty cherry and wild berry fruit atop dense foresty underpinnings. With modest alcohol it flirts on the edge of indulgence and delivers pure deliciousness. — 11 years ago

Despite age, wooden and rich. Fleshy plum and blackberry, blueberry and black currant ripeness, moist tobaccos, tender steak, acanthus, mulberry and melting chocolate. Espresso, mocha, raisinate currants, spicy tobacco, cedar, cinnamon, clove, and barrel. Candied rose petal, smoky violet, and pepper blend. Long and complex finish.

02' Keenan Reserve Cabernet. After popping my 01 Silverado reserve a few days ago... I started thinking about what cabernets I consumed 5-10-15 years ago. I remembered how much I loved these wines at the time.

I thought this could possibly be a pop and pour wine. Very little on the nose when I originally popped it. The tannins needed to soften up a little bit. After 15 minutes, started to open up. I also remembered how much I loved that smokiness & soft elegant black fruit. Violets...I couldn't forget that long and inviting finish.
Drink them up! — 10 years ago

Refreshing to taste as this has remained true to a more traditional style.
Deep garnet in color. Bing cherry, currants, pencil shavings, licorice and some bell pepper, a youthful and enveloping nose. The palate is bright with medium acidity, medium+ body and fine to medium grain tannin. A long and complicated (good thing) finish. Insane value for Napa Cabernet single vineyard wine. Don't worry about hunting this vintage, get whatever you find. #producerovervintage #togni #springmountain — 11 years ago

Big, but perfectly balanced. Fantastic wine that should easily go 15-20 years, and that's if you can resist that long! #pride #reserve #napa #springmountain — 12 years ago

Toasty plum and rye with cedar hinting at mascarpone-mint, boasting bright blueberry, dry blackberry and raisin-currant melange; withered hibiscus. Decidedly grape-y on the nose and into a mouthful of red currant, dried cranberries, green tea, pencil, cinnamon bark, savory, plus a salted black plum, and baked cranberry. This one has had oxygen exposure for 7 days, but is still wound up. Hold this one for a ten year minimum in my opinion. It was good yesterday, but better today. It shall not live to see tomorrow. Honestly built and spectacular in the making. #keenan #robertkeenanwinery #keenancab #napacabs #napacab #cab #cabernetsauvignon #cabsauv #sainthelena #springmountaincabernet #springmountaindistrict #springmountain #mountainfruit #mountainwine #sustainablyfarmed #sustainable #solarpoweredwine — 6 years ago

Loads of aroma and flavor, complex notes of black currants and cassis, some loam and licorice with a touch or tar. Fresh on the palate the oak is wells managed and seamlessly integrated, very good acidity. #lotstolike #lotsofpleasure #springmountain — 12 years ago
