title: Spring Mountain Vineyard 1997 Reserve Red
description: Another wine in what we have come to call the “black-beauty” style. It has heavily toasted oak, espresso, black cherry and menthol aromas and flavors. The fruit seems subdued here, but the wine is nevertheless well integrated, with a full mouthfeel and long finish. One of the best of this style; cellar it for four to six years, and it should drink nicely to 2010.
variety: Bordeaux-style Red Blend
designation: Reserve
