Spring Mountain Elivette Reserve 2001
Member Review by Gold Medal Wine Club:
This is a Gold Medal Wine Club Diamond Series selection. 94 Points, Wine & Spirits magazine ─ “My first notes on the wine were all about the structure: its refinement, balance and harmony. And when a wine leads with complete integration, it’s bound to be good. Slowly, over the course of day, this wine opens to a spiciness in the tannin, like black pure tea. The fruit remains tight, black as plum skin, but generous in its depth and texture. It all hangs together in a supple whole, to cellar for ten years or more.” 91 Points, Wine Spectator weekly ─ “A rich, smooth and seductive style that starts out with flashy, toasty, smoky oak and leads to a ripe, slightly hot and intense Cabernet Blend. Layers of currant and blackberry fruit firm up on the finish, with a surge of tannins.” Best of the Best Cabernet Sauvignon, 5-Stars, (out of 5) Quarterly Wine Review ─ “Remarkable character and quality.” Top Pick of Spring Mountain District Wines, The Washington Post ─ “A marvel of complexity and integration, the wine explodes with gorgeous, ripe berry fruit accented with notes of wood smoke and vanilla. Packed with flavor, but soft and smooth in texture.”
