Cain Vineyard & Winery
Cain Five Spring Mountain District Cabernet Sauvignon Blend
Medium to deep mix of ruby and garnet red. Bigger punch on the nose than the 2006. A touch smoky, and dark fruits in the finish. Heavy tannins (8/10) and full bodied. Palate started off a bit tight but then had some black cherries and woody notes. Great structure and a bit of graphite in the dry long finish. Drink till 2030. (93+)

Jan 2nd, 2022Very smooth ans drinkable. Not dry like a typical Bordeaux blend. Drank for our first date night out since COVID.

Mar 21st, 2021Not a pop and pour wine. 2 hour decant minimum. But very worth it. Special place in my heart for Cain. Living up to what I remember.
