Spring Mountain minerality meets herbal elegance in refined five-grape harmony.

Cedar and graphite lead, followed by concentrated blackcurrant and dark plum. Spring Mountain's mineral signature runs deep. Herbal notes add complexity—thyme, dried sage. Leather undertones emerge mid-palate. Focused tannins provide elegant frame without excess weight. Finish lingers with iron-tinged minerality. This vintage captures mountain terroir beautifully. Drinking well now but built for decades.
