Spring Mountain Vineyard
Estate Bottled Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Napa Valley, California, USA
Really explosive black flavors of cassis, berry and graphite. Maybe a tad fruit forward and less tannin than I expected and desire. Complimented with mountain rocks, leather and pine needle. But showing great at 10 years.

Blend of 76% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc, 6% Petit Verdot & 3% Malbec, deep Ruby with aromas of berry fruits with spice, herb and earthy notes. On the palate flavors of blackberry, ripe cherry, fig and blueberry with currants, cacao, pepper and earthy notes. Fine soft tannins, good structure, long finish, great mouthfeel, ending with cedar, fruit and earthy character. Wonderful! Very Nice.

Aging well. Color is dark, saturated to the rim. Fruit smells a little of age. But should age another ten. Potting soil, blackberry.

Mmm deep rich full dark and really weighted. Nice mountian fruit with lots of layers. I loved it with the steak we had. Nice new years wine
