Proprietary Red Reserve, Spring Mountain Vineyard 1997

Tasting Notes

A big, rich, dense and distinctive California red that adds some earthy, leathery dimensions to its appealing core of currant and plummy, minerally Cabernet fruit flavors. Tightens on the finish, with mouthcoating tannins.

Another wine in what we have come to call the 'black-beauty' style. It has heavily toasted oak, espresso, black cherry and menthol aromas and flavors. The fruit seems subdued here, but the wine is nevertheless well integrated, with a full mouthfeel and long finish.
