Spring Mountain Vineyard Estate Red 2001 750ml

Spring Mountain Vineyard is one of Napa Valley's historic mountain estates, set on the steep eastern slopes of the Mayacamas range above St. Helena. Its Estate red is a Bordeaux-style blend drawn from the winery's four mountain properties, La Perla, Chevalier, Alba and Miravalle, combining them into a single expression of the Spring Mountain District. Mountain-grown Cabernet Sauvignon gives the wine intensity, concentration and firm structure. The 2001 vintage was a celebrated year in Napa, with an even, warm season that produced ripe, balanced, long-lived wines. After more than two decades, expect cassis, dark cherry, cedar, tobacco and earthy mountain herbs with softened tannins. Drink now.
