Concentration on maximum. Sunny and still intensely earthy and lithe. I get a little tired trying to conquer this bottle, and luckily I have friends...more than one around to help with finishing this. Held up for 4 days open, just got softer but never lost its umfffff. — 9 years ago

The best merlot coming out of Napa? Hard to say, but definitely in the top three for me (Paloma, Hourglass and this). So much fruit wrapped in a silky package (@Bill Bender don’t go there). Hedonistic, but still so balanced. And an ‘11 to boot. This followed two exceptional wines and held its own. — 6 years ago
3 good things about a 3 day weekend. Dodgers vs Padres with Kershaw on the hill followed by one of my favorite merlots. The mailbox reserve is right up there with Paloma and Switchback--rich, weighty and lush. Spring mountain does something with merlot that makes me seek them out. The '13 is still youthful and needs time to shed some tannin so I'd hold for optimum enjoyment.....and optimum enjoyment is always the goal. Happy Labor Day weekend 👷🏽💼🍷🍈🍈 — 7 years ago
A Chilean Syrah, eh? It's clear this is another wine by controversial French winemaker Louis-Antoine Luyt, as it smells French. Pleasantly surprising, with ripe fruit up front followed by cement dust, asphalt, savory olive notes, a bit of watermelon candy, and white peppercorns. Impressive and big. Would never have guessed this is from Chile, though the dark, aggressive terroir does hint at its origin. — 8 years ago
Yeah. Crazy good. Tastes like a Paloma. — 9 years ago
Despite being 2011, one of the best Merlots I've ever had. Up there with Pride and Paloma. — 10 years ago

This started rocking after an hour. Chalky and freshly squeezed blackberries and plum on the nose. Black cherry on the palate with awesome cinnamon and baked berry medley pie. Still young, but killer merlot. Spring Mtn merlots (Pride, Keenan, Paloma) are the best in Napa in my opinion! Nice bottle @David Schoonover ! — 6 years ago
