Napa Cabernet
-- Internet: John Gilman: Of the most recent vintages of this wine that I have tasted, the 2008 is my favorite and I believe this is destined to be one of the absolute classic turned out from this excellent Spring Mountain property. The deep and very pure nose wafts from the glass in a superb blend of dark berries, cigar smoke, currant leaf, dark soil tones, a touch of menthol and a fine framing of smoky new wood. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and really refined on the attack, with a rock solid core, firm, chewy tannins and a great sense of refinement on the very, very long, primary and suave finish. This is very early days for this wine (it is after all, a young Togni cabernet!), but it will eventually be extremely polished and vibrant and should eventually rank right up there with the very finest vintages produced at this property, such as the 1996 and 1991. 2028-2075+. 95/100
