2024 Spring Wine Club Selections
New Releases With This Shipment
2019 Merlot
Rich blueberry, cherry, and boysenberries dominate the nose with notes of toasted vanilla from our 100% French oak aging (approx. 50% new). The mouthfeel truly showcases how extended barrel aging only enhances our Spring Mountain District terroir. The finish is intricately layered with balanced acidity, lush tannins, and fruit components that linger on and on.
2017 Gate Block
Gate Block returns! This 100% Cabernet Sauvignon truly shows what some of the rockier, highest peaks of Spring Mountain can produce. Bright blackberry dominates the nose with notes of toffee, plum, bing cherry, plum, and undertones of mocha powder and currant. The mouthfeel is velvety, sliding into a complexly layered mid-palate. The finish of this wine is a zingy combination of fruit and tannin that lasts about as long as it would take to make the climb to the 2000’ elevation of the namesake Gate Block!
2019 Cabernet Sauvignon
Pre-Release Club Only!
Primary notes of fresh ripe blackberries, plums, bing cherry, and bittersweet chocolate are complimented with notes of “deep woods after a rainfall”, cumin, and cedar. The entry is lush and silky, slowly building into an intensely layered mid palate, eventually transitioning into a lengthy finish of elegant tannins, mouth watering acidity, and full black fruit components. This is a classic example of my goal to make wines with a sense of place; this is a true Spring Mountain District Cabernet Sauvignon given ample time to age so that it’s terroir and varietal are balanced to perfection.
Classic Favorites Also In This Shipment
2022 Sauvignon Blanc
A delightfully crisp and refreshing wine that delivers loads of flavor. This Sauvignon Blanc has beautiful aromas of citrus, lime, and passion fruit.
2022 Chardonnay
Granny Smith apple, white peach, faint pineapple, and mango appear with a crisp entry and poised acidity along with layers of flinty minerality. The fruit expression in this Chardonnay is full with a silky mouthfeel and elegant viscosity. A bit of signature toasted French oak dances around in this varietal without ever overpowering the unique Spring Mountain District terroir.
2021 Pinot Noir
The layered entry hints at how richly extracted this wine is with notes of fruit, white pepper, sweet baking spices, and a smooth layered mouthfeel that lingers on the finish with cherry and berry notes and medium-weight tannins.
2018 Cabernet Sauvignon
This is our twenty-fifth bottling of Cabernet Sauvignon. Bright aromas of dark cherry, raspberry, blackberry, currants, and boysenberry preserves with a slight hint of nutmeg greet you in the glass. A velvety entry with sweet oak envelops the richly layered fruit. Juicy acidity and lingering berry notes mesh with complex tannins at the finish.
