Napa Valley, California, USA
What a perfume... Martha McClellan and Wesley Steffens worked in tandem to craft this inaugural release. The fruit is sourced from two estate vineyards farmed on top of Spring Mountain, as well as the Beckstoffer Melrose Vineyard in Rutherford, CA. The resulting wine shows very focused yet fresh and vibrant aromatics, polished tannins with great tension, smooth texture throughout the wine ending with a very pleasing and lengthy finish. This wine will drink very well upon release, as well will continue to reward with aging in the cellar for many years to come.

Very dry and tannic. Likely needs more time to really hit its peak.

Excellent black fruit with a hint of plum. Well integrated tannins that are velvety soft. Best to decant before pouring.

A nice Spring Mountain wine filled with dark berry fruit with this inaugural vintage. Hoping some more bottle time may even get better. Celebrating 25 years of work selling paper.
