The Terra Valentine Spring Mountain property is a gorgeous 30-acre Estate sitting high up the mountain at 600-1000 feet elevations. It is surrounded by beautiful large redwoods and overlooks the town of St Helena in Northern Napa.
This full-bodied, dark, robust Cabernet is blue-fruited and built for the long haul. It's laser smooth, and needs a good decant to really show it's size. Lots of great mountain influence give it a true sense of place.
Aged 18 months in French Oak barrels, 66% new
Coopers—Nadalie, Orion and Ermitage
Composition—88% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Cabernet France, 4% Merlot
Cases Produced 975 cases - 20 barrels
92 Points James Suckling
This is in dark-plum and dark-chocolate territory with undertones of dried herbs, bark and walnuts. On the palate, the ripe fruit is supported by grainy tannins and carried well by a fine thread of acidity to the chewy, chocolatey finish. Needs time.
