2016 SPRING MOUNTAIN VINEYARD ELIVETTE ESTATE BOTTLED RED WINE NAPA VALLEY 750ML

The 2016 vintage in Napa Valley was extraordinary and it shows in the 2016 Elivette. A moderate summer and slightly longer growing season brought out the intense aromas of a classically styled Napa Red Wine. The aroma profile is dominated by bright fresh fruits beginning with wild berries and tart rhubarb but finishing in darker tones of plum and blueberries. On the palate the wine is rich and round on the front end but finishes focused and polished showing the classic tannin profile of our select vineyard blocks which compose Elivette. The fruit mingles with cracked pepper sage and hints of integrated oak. Licorice and espresso show themselves on the long lingering finish. As always this wine will age beautifully for the next 10-15+ years but with decanting will open up into a youthful but approachable wine ready to drink now.
