The grapes for the Spring Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon were harvested from a single vineyard sitting at the very top of the appellation at an elevation of 2,000 feet. Planted on Aiken loam soils, which were formed from basic volcanic rocks, the vineyard sits above the fog line and away from trees leaving it quite exposed at the top of the mountain.
A dark purple in the glass, this Cabernet Sauvignon from Spring Mountain opens with aromas of sassafras and notes of bay leaf. The textured palate showcases flavors of blackberry, blueberry, black cherry and hints of espresso. Full-bodied with fine-grained tannins, the finish has a lot of energy and freshness.
