Bid on this 2-bottle lot of 1978 Spring Mountain Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon (91JG). John Gilman: "The 1978 Spring Mountain cabernet sauvignon is a good, solid example of this fine vintage. The wine offers up a black fruity and complex nose of cassis, menthol, cigar ash, dark soil tones, smoke, and a touch of petroleum jelly in the upper register. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied, complex and still quite vibrant, with a good core of fruit, still some backend tannin waiting to resolve, fine focus and balance and good length on the well balanced finish."

One of California’s premier, mountain grown Cabernets. Originally four individual historic Napa Valley properties, Miravalle, La Perla, Alba, and Chevalier were combined to create this 850-acre estate of forest and vineyard on the eastern slopes of Spring Mountain overlooking the town of St. Helena. Over 225 acres of the estate are planted to vine, creating 135 separate hillside vineyard blocks. Each of these blocks has unique soils, exposures, and mesoclimates that provide Spring Mountain with some of the most interesting complex fruit this side of the Atlantic.
