Not what I remembered from winery last year. Dark ruby center fading at the rim. Dark red fruit, plum and baking spice. Medium in body and acid. Softer tannins that have already begun to integrate. Wine felt off balanced. Will hold onto my last bottle for a while.

Drinking pretty well right now. Decanted for about 30/40 minutes, but continued to evolve and open up. Initial nose of rich and ripe black fruits, as it opened up I got some leather, tobacco, and earthier notes.

PnP although I feel this wine will benefit from a long decant. Archetypal Napa Valley Cabernet with plenty of ripeness but very drinkable.
Blackberry, blueberry, plum and chocolate aromas. The palate is Intense, broad and quite deep, showcasing chocolate-dipped cherry and plum. Some baking spice comes through on the finish. Light tannins and well balanced – there’s enough acidity to stand up to the ripe fruit. 14.8 ABV but the alcohol is well integrated and not noticeable at all. Paired well with a rib-eye.

Opened for several hours (no decant). Really nice cab with great depth and complexity.

Beautiful Spring Mountain Cab, perfect with a grill roasted beef tenderloin.
