Spring Mountain Vineyard Red Blend Elivette Spring Mountain District Napa Valley 2015

“Dense yet energetic, delivering Black Mission fig and dark plum fruit flavors, while vigorous bramble and licorice snap notes push from behind. Flashes of sage and sassafras peek through, giving this lift and cut on the finish. Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, Merlot and Malbec. Best from 2022 through 2040.”

“Incredibly pretty, showing the signature of the 2015 vintage with its red fruits and classic freshness. A dusty mineral-rich nose tinged with vanilla hints at a wine just beginning to strut its stuff. Bright with pixelated tannins and crunchy acidity, and pretty red florals layered with expressive roast coffee. Medium-bodied and elegant with a long crushed stone finish and pops of spicy herbs.”
