Potent aromas of sweet dark fruit, cocoa, caramel and intriguing violet notes 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 1-2 hours before service.

Winemaker’s Comments

Additional Notes

Richness, concentration and balance are the hallmarks of wines from the Spring Mountain Vineyard in 2009. This vintage completes a three-year drought cycle in Napa Valley. The effect on the 2009 wines is expressed as concentrated dark fruit. Yields were less than one ton of fruit per acre. (Normal yields are two tons per acre.) This vintage is one of our recent favorites because growing conditions allowed for long hang times that ensured perfectly ripened fruit – a winemaker’s dream. The wines have rich, concentrated flavors and smooth, supple tannins.
