Decanted for 2 hours but could easily take another hour plus.

Jun 24th, 2017Intense Hillside Cabernet with a great balance of tannins. This one will drink for many more years. Thanks to Bob for sharing your Spring Mountain Masterpiece.

Apr 18th, 2015Too early but trying before I buy more. Stellar. Lots of upside. Dark. Sticky. Reminds me of a ‘13 Cor Leonis a little.

May 3rd, 2024Very smooth, but overall Spring Mountain doesn’t do it for me. The notes were subdued, but nothing really special from any other $50 napa Cab from 2015.

Jul 27th, 2022😳 we’re comparing this and the Spring Mtn cab tonight. Can definitely see the similarities in the fruit, but this is more complex, balanced, and refined for sure.
