  Last tasted this vintage of this wine in 2019. Time in the cellar has been generous to this wine as it has improved. While this can age for another 5+ years, it has put on some weight and the tannin has softened to where it can be consumed now with a minimum of a 2 hour decant. While still primary, tertiary notes are starting to emerge but you have to look for them. There is a nice tension and persistent energy that unfolds on the palate. Spring Mtn wines have always proved to be long lived.

  Cassis, stewed black cherry, mocha, and dried herb. Chalky tannins. Classic style, if a bit subdued at 10 years in.

  Rich deep plum color. Gorgeous nose of rich black cherry and cedar with a hint of dark chocolate. Rich mouth feel and the cherry and dark chocolate really stand out on the palate. Firm tannins tell me this could go a few more years.

  Old school cab, cassis, dark cherry. Medium body. Still youthful in color. Tannins not yet fully resolved. Secondary notes just starting. If I had another I would wait until it is 15 years or more.

  I enjoy wines from Spring Mountain district, and this is no exception. Great wine similar to the very expensive Cults Cabernet from Napa
