Cain Five Spring Mountain District Cabernet Sauvignon Blend

Seemed a bit young. Black currant, blackberry, spicy, small touch of pyrazine. Had good structure and acid so I'd expect it to refine more.

spring mt unique blend

1.5 hour decant(decent chunky sediment). A majestic deep purplish magenta color with a little bricking. Always have a soft spot for aged Cain Five and Chris's old school savory style(embrace a little brett!). On the nose: stunning nose of worn leather, funky wet earth, red fruit, touch of menthol, nutty. Taste: Restrained, silky, elegant, balanced wine with dusty earth, herbaceous, currants, plum, cedarwood, and peppery dark chocolate medium finish. YUM! Hitting its stride with time to go.

Great night with old friends.

Best wine of the night. Full bodied with exceptional finish.

Another dinner at Del Frisco’s Grille to take advantage of their “closing permanently” discount of 50% off all alcohol, only this time we had friends 🤙🏻

Of the 3 reds we had tonight this was the lowest performer, but only because it was a little muted; I don’t think it had adequate time to fully blossom. Nonetheless it was still quite delicious. I was able to get enough expression from it to get a good idea of what it could offer and I liked it...a lot.

Light, smooth and airy, floral, dark berries, black cherries, spice, however dialed back.

Excellent with Prime Rib

Amazingly smooth and restrained - expected more jam

Opened with bandaids and hospital rooms. Closed with fruity peppers.
