Vineyard 7&8 Estate Cabernet Sauvignon 2014Spring Mountain

The 2014 Estate Cabernet Sauvignon marks the first vintage welcoming my long time mentor Martha McClellan to our team as Winemaker. Our goal and focus upon her arrival was focused on preserving a freshness and aromatics, bringing increased length and texture to the wines, all while maintaining the tension and integrity that comes with Cabernet crafted on Spring Mountain. About a third of this wine was fermented whole berry in new French oak barrels, a process that brought incredible complexity to our wines. Martha and I are very proud of our inaugural vintage together, and know you will be too. A deep purple core leads to a nose with elements of violets and spice. On the palate black and red fruit notes linger in a sweet and savory balance long after the first sip.
