Spring Mountain Vineyard Spring Mountain District Elivette Red Blend Napa Valley CA 2011

Tasting Notes: This estate grown and bottled beauty exhibits aromas of red cherry and brambleberry melded with holiday spice, dark chocolate and caramel. The entry is rich, with plentiful dark fruit gently shaped by round tannins and lifted by a bright acidity into a complete and balanced wine. There is a powerful density to the mid-palate that resonates through the lingering finish. It’s a vintage marked by its power, elegance, balance and affinity for food.

"Critics were initially unimpressed with Napa's 2011 vintage. But as is so often true in wine, quiet winemaking decisions – and time in the bottle – won out. Fifteen years later, the 2011 Elivette shines with purity of fruit, intensity, and soul-stirring earthy notes. There are life lessons in this kind of bottle."
