Lot 269
2017 Spring Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon (Gold Medal)
Description
Opaque with a kiss of deep ruby around the rim. Extended age in barrel has made this wine quite open knit aromatically as well as on the palate. Mountain terroir shows its transparency, with juicy black plum, white flowers and dried tobacco mingling with notes of mountain rocks, black licorice and graphite. The French oak aging deftly frames the flavors with cigar box, cedar and vanilla, converging into a black-fruited, palate-staining focus that lingers through the long, perfectly-balanced finish. Textbook gorgeous.
