This is in a very good place- intense black cherry and cassis. Very well balanced but the structure of this wine means it still has years of life. 11/24/16

I am celebrating my oldest daughter's first trip to Napa. She and Dylan had a great tour at Spring Mountain! Thanks to Will Burkholder at Fine Wine Dump for setting up the visit and Spring Mtn folks for a great tour. I am a big fan of SM and have a lot in the cellar. So I broke out this Elivette. Fantastic! Drinks like a 1990's Cali Cab. Smooth with a lot of layers!!

True BDX blend. Monster on waiting. Long, long length with dark, brooding gripping tannin. A baby now

2006 elivette. Very rich smell, lots of fruit. More fruit than the others. But a little sour on the finish. This is rounder than the rest. At spring. Didn’t rate
