About the wine
Our 2015 Spring Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon opens with enticing aromas of black cherries with a hint of mushrooms and earth. On the palate, this wine bursts open with flavors of dark plums and black tea with balanced mineral notes that lead to a long, satisfying finish. Focused and structure-driven, the wine has more tannins and more grip.
The grapes for the Spring Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon were sourced from a single vineyard sitting at approximately 1,900 feet in elevation that features a mix of Boomer and Forward soils that are formed from weathered metavolcanics and igneous rocks, along with rhyolitic tuff. The well-drained volcanic and sedimentary soils, coupled with high winter rainfall, cool springtime weather, and warm harvest nights, lead to a unique flavor profile. Intense fruit flavors and complex mountain tannins best characterize wines from this vineyard.
