The Mountain Estate Collection

2021 Oriri Estate Cabernet Sauvignon + 2021 Occasus Estate Cabernet Sauvignon + 2021 Estate Cabernet Franc 
Three estate-grown reds. Three expressions of Spring Mountain Vineyard. Oriri, Occasus and Estate Cabernet Franc come together in our most complete exploration of the mountain—a gift for collectors, wine lovers and the occasions that call for something exceptional.

2021 Oriri Estate Cabernet Sauvignon: Oriri, which means “to rise” in Latin, shows precision and balance with bright red fruits and gentle floral notes. This Bordeaux blend comes from grapes grown on eastern-facing slopes of our mountain vineyards, where vines are exposed to warm, sun-filled mornings. The palate is soft and delicate with notes of rainier cherry and red licorice. 

2021 Occasus Estate Cabernet Sauvignon: In Latin, the word “Occasus” refers to the setting sun. This Bordeaux blend comes from grapes grown on western-facing slopes of our mountain vineyards, where vines are exposed to warm, sun-filled afternoons. The result is a dark, brambly profile with dense, concentrated flavors. The palette is loaded with rich black fruits, dusted with cocoa powder and hints of spice. This weighty mid-palate gives way to a long, round finish and smooth tannins, complements of the Merlot. We aged the wine for 22 months in French oak barrels for beautiful structure and complexity.

2021 Estate Cabernet Franc: The interplay of fruit and floral elements is captivating, with the cedar and mesquite contributing a savory edge that grounds the experience. Layers of spice and a subtle earthiness weave throughout, enhancing the wine's multifaceted nature. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied with a silky texture that beautifully supports its complexity. The finish is long and expressive, with lingering notes of cranberry and a soft herbal quality, complemented by a whisper of violet.
