Spring Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon
Big Powerful

Winery Story

Spring Mountain Vineyard is an 945-acre estate on the eastern slopes of Spring Mountain. Over 225 acres of the estate are planted to vine, r... (more...)epresenting 135 distinct hillside vineyard blocks with many soil types, exposures, and microclimates. Originally four individual 19th century Napa Valley vineyards, Miravalle, Alba, Chevalier and La Perla are now one vineyard producing estate-bottled wines. Growing primarily Bordeaux grape varieties, the vineyard yields distinctive mountain wines that consistently display concentration, elegance and longevity.

Tasting Note

A pure expression of mountain fruit, the 2004 Cabernet Sauvignon is fragrant with bright red fruit aromas, dark chocolate, vanilla bean, swe... (more...)et black tea and floral notes. Full bodied and effusively flavorful, the wine has a soft, velvety approach and delivers loads of cherry-berry fruit well integrated with satiny tannins, lively acidity and a long, echoing finish. Decant to release the abundant flavors and aromas of this youthful and vibrant Cabernet.

Tasted this again last night, this time decanted. 30 min of air made this wine significantly smoother and more complex. Rich dark fruit flavors emerged along with cocoa, oak and the chalkiness remained.

Very nice wine. Lighter and with more acidity than some Napa Valley, velvet, fruit smashers. Rich red fruit. Definitely some chalky, minerality on the finish which gives it complexity as well. Love to think about what a spectacular estate these grapes are grown on as I sip.
