Spring Mountain Vineyard Red Blend Elivette Spring Mountain District Napa Valley 2003 (Magnum 1.5L)

“The 2003 Reserve is in mint condition. Tasted from magnum, the wine soars from the glass with Bordeaux-like nuances of dark cassis fruit, tobacco, violets and olive tapenade, carried by absolutely powerful fine-grained tannins. Leather, dried violets and layers of loamy earth add further depth, while black-tea tannins build on the finish, joined by Earl Grey notes. Savoury, expressive and deeply attractive, this is perfectly aged Napa Cabernet at its best — the kind of wine that makes keeping the corks in the bottle nearly impossible.”
