Cain Vineyard & Winery
Cain Five Spring Mountain District Cabernet Sauvignon Blend
Spring Mountain District, Napa Valley, California, USA
Medium to deep mix of ruby and garnet red. Bigger punch on the nose than the 2006. A touch smoky, and dark fruits in the finish. Heavy tannins (8/10) and full bodied. Palate started off a bit tight but then had some black cherries and woody notes. Great structure and a bit of graphite in the dry long finish. Drink till 2030. (93+)

Love this wine. Blackberries and currants, and a hint of raspberry. Powerful, juicy, and earthy with a fabulous bouquet and a long, satisfying finish. Opened about seven hours before drinking (four with the cork out, three in the decanter).

Jan 2nd, 2022Very smooth ans drinkable. Not dry like a typical Bordeaux blend. Drank for our first date night out since COVID.
