2008 Vineyard 7&8 Seven Cabernet Spring Mtn
96pts(WE)It’s hard to exaggerate the purity of this wine, which is 100% Cabernet. It startles for the intensity of mountain blackberries and raspberries, and then a firm minerality kicks in, along with the tannins, providing grounding structure. The finish lasts for a full minute. Winemaker Luc Morlet has really hit the jackpot with this dry, spectacularly complex young wine, which will develop for at least a decade. —S.H. # 36 Wine Enthusiast Top 100 Cellar Selections 2011
