2019 Estate Cabernet Franc "Miravalle" 140th Anniversary

Spring Mountain Vineyard's 140th anniversary marks a profound moment of reflection and renewal for our historic Napa Valley estate. The Miravalle mansion was built in 1885 by Tiburcio Parrott and is a beautiful testament of the late 19th century architecture. Over the decades the estate has remained a cornerstone of Napa's winemaking legacy. This reimagining of Spring Mountain Vineyard is not just about restoration - it's about honoring its rich history while embracing the future.

The 2019 Spring Mountain Vineyard 140th Anniversary Cabernet Franc is a beautifully balanced expression of the varietal, showcasing bright red fruit, spice, and the classic SMV backbone of acidity and dusty tannins. Ripe red cherries, tart rhubarb, and earthy notes define the nose, with hints of spearmint, baking spices, and cola adding complexity. On the palate, fresh red currant and violet notes lead to a soft mid-palate and a refined, mid-to-long finish, where graphite and earth mingle with lingering fruit. A poised and age-worthy Cabernet Franc, destined to evolve beautifully over the next decade.
