Witchery is a small winery that is making some great cabs and blends. India and I brought this for my family to try. This is the inaugural vintage of the Witchery Cabernet Sauvignon Spring Mountain District. This was a PNP, but before I got to taste this wine it was in the glass and decanter for around an hour. The color is a dark opaque ruby red with a hue of purple and not cloudy. I have had really good experiences with Grant’s wines (winemaker for Witchery). In the nose there is plenty of cassis and dark fruits. Additionally it has notes of vanilla and a warm sitting by the fire sensation. Lots of cassis and dark fruit notes in the palate. The body is moderate with moderate (at the maximum) to low tannins. The finish lingers for a moderate period of time. This wine is a crowd pleaser! So drinkable and smooth. Everything is where it belongs making it roll down your tongue like silk. Only disappointment was that this was a PNP, which leads me to think that it is not a wine to cellar. The Oakville will have more cellar life and so will the blend over the Spring Mountain. Nonetheless I love Witchery’s wines and if you ever get a chance, jump on it and grab some! — 11 years ago

Nutty, nice hops, not so bitter that it runs over the malt. A good beer on a hot day. — 11 years ago

Grapefruit pith, light hops, some maltiness emerges upon warming. A pretty decent IPA for a warm summer evening. — 11 years ago
