Delicious. A Napa style Bordeaux blend from Spring Mountain. I love Spring Mtn wines and this was no exception. Served at the in-laws with a fantastic rib roast dinner. Great pairing - this is a really good food wine. After it was decanted for a couple of hours, it was ready to go. The oak had integrated nicely. There's lots of blackberry here, but also an earthiness that keeps it more on the subtle side of Napa reds. There's plenty of life here, but it's drinking really well right now with food and a decant.

Cain Vineyard and Winery Winemaker Lunch (City Club FW): This one was so different than the 2013 Cain Five tasted right next to it. This one had nothing but blue fruit and wood on the nose - almost young syrah like. It smells like a young Cain wine, and smells like the vineyard, with lots of evergreen/pine, mixed with deep blue and some red fruit. This one was not as well integrated as the 2013, but others liked it better. Some spicy and leather flavors were present, but more so from the vineyard than age. This one needs 5 more years at least.

Solid, probably has another 2-4 years but not beyond that
