Brooding powerhouse demands patience—smoke, cassis, iron backbone.

Dense, brooding expression from Spring Mountain. Cassis and blackcurrant drive the core. Smoke weaves through cedar and graphite notes. Dark plum richness balances herbal complexity. Leather emerges on the lengthy finish. Firm tannins provide serious structure. This 2010 needs time—cellar five years minimum. Built for the long haul with impressive concentration.
