Nose is dark fruit. Palate was dark fruit, black olives, graphite, and minerals. Good acidity with ripe tannins. It is drinking perfectly right now.
I am not familiar with Spring Mt Bordeaux blends. but the vegetal characteristics of this bottle almost over powered the fruit. Maybe too heavy on the Cab Franc for my palate. Not my style but can appreciate that this is a very well made wine in perfect balance.

Has benefited from time in the cellar (and wish I had kept this bottle in there for another 1-2 years). Nose of dried red fruits, graphite, and some mint/ menthol. Medium high acidity and nicely integrated tannins. This is a great example of Napa mountain cabernet. Drink or hold, feels like this has some life ahead and will begin to develop more secondary flavors

Really nice cab, good body and really smooth. Wish I had more than this one bottle.
