2010 | Vineyard 7 & 8 | Cabernet Sauvignon Estate

A complex bouquet of blackberry, blueberry and red cherry compote is followed by notes of sweet tobacco, black tea and creme de cassis. Beautiful layers of smoke, white pepper and crushed stone carry through the nose and palate. The creamy texture and mature, silky tannins provide a true example of Spring Mountain's mix of power and elegance. A truly remarkable wine.

Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: The gorgeous 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate from Spring Mountain displays an opaque purple color along with an intense nose of black currants, licorice and flowers. This rich, full-bodied, well-balanced Cabernet possesses sweet tannin, adequate acidity for uplift and well-integrated wood and alcohol. Especially appealing is the wine’s multilayered texture and long finish.

• Vinous: Mocha, plum, licorice, smoke and raspberry jam meld together in the 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate. The firm mountain tannins are there, but they are nearly buried by the wine's pure depth of fruit and resonance. Pine, menthol, licorice and melted road tar flow through to the finish. There is lovely mid-palate density.

Producer Information

After a measured and patient search for a vineyard property in the Napa Valley, the Steffens Family ended their quest when they acquired a forty-acre property atop Spring Mountain. Planted in the early 1980’s to eight acres of each Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay, the property met the family’s stringent requirements to sustainably grow premium grapes allowing them to craft wines with a true sense of place. Founded in 1999 and named after proprietor Launny Steffens’ life and background in the world of finance with a theme encompassed by numerics, and a keen interest in numerology — “seven” being a number of luck in western culture, while “eight” follows the meanings of prosperity and happiness in eastern culture — Vineyard 7 & 8 is the culmination of the family’s pursuit for producing fine wines including Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay.
