Ultraripe, with a touch of sweetness to the red currant, black cherry and wild berry fruit and the alcohol stands out a bit. The texture is smooth and the tannins are ripe and integrated, finishing with a burst of ripe fruit. (11/2005)
Producer note from Wine Spectator: "A building contractor by profession, Steve Sherwin was in his element when he and his wife, Linda, bought property on Spring Mountain above Napa Valley in 1996. Their goals were straightforward, if daunting: remodel an old home, log a forest, till the earth and plant vines for their new vineyard. 'I couldn't have been much happier,' says Sherwin, with a grin....Sherwin has hired Phil Steinschriber, winemaker at Diamond Creek Vineyards, to help with winemaking. Diamond Creek's Cabernets are tight and tannic, too, so having someone with experience should aid the Sherwins in their battle with the Spring Mountain tannins." (11/00)
