Our Second Vintage
The grapes for this Napa Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon were harvested from Fantesca Estate on Spring Mountain in 2003. The wine from this vintage yields a hint of rich and sweet fresh-cut herbs such as rosemary and thyme, together with a slight pine essence. These herbal notes are subtle and offer a beautiful contrast and complexity to this wine’s rich fruit character. We believe that the herbal complexities in this wine are due in part to the cooler climate of the Spring Mountain appellation as compared to other Napa AVAs.
On the palate, the wine is impeccably balanced, with soft, well-integrated tannins that seem perfectly matched to its level of fruit. As a result, this striking example of Napa Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon should age well for ten years or more.
