Description
Mr Whirly says:
” European in style, not big and over extracted like so many Napa Cabs I have tasted in the past. This wine has finesse and class in abundance & will last a while in the bottle, anything up to 20 years. Its also an Organic certified wine, pretty rare for the grape and region, so something rare that should be held onto in your cellar for a while. 86 % Cabernet, 12% Cabernet Franc, 2% Merlot.”
Winemakers notes:
” Potent aromas of sweet dark fruit, cocoa, caramel and intriguing notes of violets introduce the wine. On the palate, the wine is structured and complex, the mid-palate laden with intense fruit; blackberry, cherry and cassis and further enhanced by notes of chocolate and baking spices. The finish is long and lingering, with a re-statement of concentrated fruit and spice. In its youth, decant 1 to 2 hours before service. Drink 2012 to 2025″
Wine review:
Kens wine guide
“This opaque and very purple colored Cabernet from Spring Mountain opens with fragrant boysenberry and blueberry bouquet. On the palate, this wine is full bodied, balanced, and smooth. The flavor profile is a cedar influenced black currant with notes of black cherry and cranberry. The finish is dry and its moderate tannins are managed and controlled.
