CELLAR SELECTION
SPRING MOUNTAIN 2019
Heir Apparent winemaker Dwight Bonewell is a master of assemblage who strives to create compelling wines from some of Napa Valley’s most coveted vineyards. His 2019 Cellar Selection Red Wine hails from the Spring Mountain AVA, a tiny region with around 20 different soil types that create a patchwork of unique terroirs that give the wines their signature supple, balanced tannins, deeply pronounced flavors, and enchanting elegance.
The 2019 growing season saw a long, warm summer with very few extreme heat spikes and a relatively mild finish with ample hang-time that preserved deep color, finesse, and a soft tannic structure. This small production of 390 cases is a harmonious blend of 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Sauvignon with a plush, silky mouthfeel, lengthy finish, and keen balance of bright fruit and lively acidity.

The palate has a focus and concentration that combine with the fruit and spice elements that resolve into a fascinating, easy-drinking red blend that finishes with mouth-quenching fruits and berries.
