Absolutely riveting wine as of early 2026 when I tasted this 11-year-old Cabernet from Spring Mountain. It is in the perfect drinking window. The bright red fruits that surely abounded in this wine’s youth have mellowed to darker tones, intermixed with scorched earth and dusty red mineral character, currant and fig jam, cassis, and ultra-fine tannins that are nicely integrated at this stage, finishing with freshness of citrus oil, blood orange acidity, and crushed cocoa nib intensity on the full-bodied, dried violet-driven finish. Produced from 100% estate Cabernet Sauvignon grown at Marston Family Vineyard in the Spring Mountain District, harvested between 9–15 October 2015, fermented in a combination of barrel and stainless steel under winemaker Marbue Marke, and aged for 19 months in 100% French oak.
