Publix Premium, Spring Mountain District (Napa Valley, California) Cabernet Sauvignon 2011

Jun 1, 2015

By Robert Whitley

Spring Mountain is one of the sweet spots for Cabernet Sauvignon in the Napa Valley. This vintage from Publix Premium is a steal at the price, showing the powerful intensity of flavor found in Spring Mountain Cabernet, but without the harsh tannins that sometime accompany these wines in their youth. Ripe and rich, it is long on the palate and finishes with a hint of oak vanillin,  Platinum award winner at the 2015 Critics Challenge International Wine Competition.
