Spring Mountain Vineyard Estate Cabernet Sauvignon 2015

A noble variety with both strength and focus, Cabernet Sauvignon enjoys popularity throughout the globe, with its best examples displaying decades-long potential for aging beautifully. Cabernet Sauvignon thrives in Medoc in Bordeaux where it is also blended with Merlot and smaller amounts of some mixture of Cabernet Franc, Malbec and Petit Verdot.

The new Spring Mountain Vineyard was once three separate properties each with its own vineyard and winery: Spring Mountain Vineyards (Miravalle) 257 acres, Chateau Chevalier (Chevalier) 120 acres, and Draper Vineyards (La Perla) 435 acres. The upper most property on the estate, La Perla, was founded in 1873 by Charles Lemme and expanded by the Schilling Spice family. Originally 285 acres it had the first Cabernet Sauvignon planted on Spring Mountain.
