Purchased at winery, stored at 55 degrees since purchase. Dark purple-red somewhat cloudy,good legs. Nose of blackberries dark chocolate cigar box with faint cinnamon. Taste of dark fruit ie blackberry cobbler vanilla and a very strong alcohol finish which though not unpleasant was similar to a Central Valley Syrah. Not surprising at 14.9% alcohol. Good mouth tightening tannins over all not dissapointing but I expect more from mountain fruit. 90/100

Dark ruby with mild cloudiness. Dark fruits/berries, cherry, dark chocolate, vanilla, black currant. The tannin and toughness of young Spring Mountain Cab is subdued, there is a sweetness and smoothness to this wine. Good wine, drink now 89-91.

Ten years hasn’t diminished this wine. Sweet cherry, dry finish, nuance of tobacco or smoke. No nose to speak of and not a long finish hence the 92 rating. Very delicious wine and still very much alive.

This has held up for the 13 years. Lots of floral flavor and earthiness to go with the stuffed veal dinner.
