Cabernet Sauvignon, Schweiger Vineyards, Spring Mountain District, CA, 2018

James Suckling - 92 Points

Aromas of dark plums and blackberries with toasted spices, cedar and tar. Fullbodied with smooth, glossy tannins, chalky texture and a bed of ripe dark berries. Velvety finish. Drink or hold.

Perched 2,000 feet above Napa Valley, Schweiger Vineyards thrives under the care of Fred and Sally Schweiger, with son Andy crafting the wines. For over 30 years, this family has nurtured their land on Spring Mountain, where volcanic soils and dry-farming yield intense, dark red wines. Expect lush cherry, blackberry, and currant notes, wrapped in velvety oak, with a finish that lingers like a sunset over the valley.
