Witchery Wine
Spring Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon
Spring Mountain District, Napa Valley, California, USA
More bday celebrations!
Deep purplish ruby red. Dark nose with raspberries, black cherries and cocoa. A bit of spices too. Moderate tannins (6/10) and strong acidity. A touch of heat with lots of red fruits and perfumey notes. Great structure, seems to be a little closed right now. Give it a couple years before revisiting. Drink till 2025.

Witchery is a small winery that is making some great cabs and blends. India and I brought this for my family to try. This is the inaugural vintage of the Witchery Cabernet Sauvignon Spring Mountain District. This was a PNP, but before I got to taste this wine it was in the glass and decanter for around an hour. The color is a dark opaque ruby red with a hue of purple and not cloudy. I have had really good experiences with Grant’s wines (winemaker for Witchery). In the nose there is plenty of cassis and dark fruits. Additionally it has notes of vanilla and a warm sitting by the fire sensation. Lots of cassis and dark fruit notes in the palate. The body is moderate with moderate (at the maximum) to low tannins. The finish lingers for a moderate period of time. This wine is a crowd pleaser! So drinkable and smooth. Everything is where it belongs making it roll down your tongue like silk. Only disappointment was that this was a PNP, which leads me to think that it is not a wine to cellar. The Oakville will have more cellar life and so will the blend over the Spring Mountain. Nonetheless I love Witchery’s wines and if you ever get a chance, jump on it and grab some!
