Barnett Vineyards
Rattlesnake Spring Mountain District Cabernet Sauvignon
Spring Mountain District, Napa Valley, California, USA
In the perfect drinking window right now. For a ripe vintage this wine is impeccably balanced. The elevation must have helped keep the ripening in check. The color was a youthful dark red core with res edges. The nose was bing cherry, plum, blackberry, and loam. The palate was full bodied, concentrated but light on its feet. Bing cherry, cassis, and plum took center stage on the palate as mocha flavors weaves with the perfectly integrated tannin, The flavors expanded from the immediate attack, a huge mid-palate through to a long, persistent finish.

You've got to love 2000ft Spring Mountain fruit. Hal and Fiona nailed this vintage. Still an abundance of ripe red raspberry and luxurious Cabernet nose. Holding this vintage was the right call. All edges rounded off and is beautifully layered. Enjoy.
