November 1, 2018 - Surprise of the night! Holding up beautifully from an excellent Napa vintage. Ripe fruit, earth, and fig pronounced and still singing! Terra Valentine tasting alongside a 2006 and 2007 Yverdon Vineyard Cab as well as the 2008 Premier Napa Valley “fleur de lys” Cab Franc! Possibly one of the most underrated producers in Napa Valley! Excellent wine.

August 7, 2018 - Opague purple. Primary fruits throughout are black currant and black cherry, with secondary black berry. Well structured by acid and tannin, and smoothly textured. While enjoyable and a good example of a Spring Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon, this bottle is not as good as the previous one I drank - less lively and complete.

April 6, 2017 - A superb example of how good Spring Mountain Cabs are. This 15 year old Cabernet Sauvignon was drunk beside two significantly younger Cabs, yet was the darkest wine, black to the edge and with purple bubbles from the pour. Also, the most aromatic wine, with black cherry, black current, and black plum. The sip comes in smooth and deep, with well integrated acidity and tannin, and the swallow generates a spike of fruit flavors. Overall, drinking at its peak and will hold for another 5 years.

March 1, 2015 - - Garnet color with medium forming legs. It's balanced and has flavours of blackberry and cherry with a medium/full body. Silky texture with a medium finish.
