Aromas of blackberries, blueberries and fresh mushrooms follow through to a medium to full body, fine tannins and a fresh finish. Drink or hold. Very pretty cab.

Wine Enthusiast
A more approachable combo of mostly Cabernet with 20% Merlot, this wine is rounder and softer on the palate than some of its vineyard-designated brethren, and yet still appropriately grippy for the vintage. Plum, chocolate, cedar and leather all make appearances, as the wine expands into a luxurious finish.

Terra Valentine sources from Spring Mountain whose varied terrain shines through in the robust yet balanced style of the wines–exhibiting the true essence of the Spring Mountain District. While mountain viticulture presents its challenges, for Terra Valentine, it comes down to hand-tending the vines to get the most out of the diverse soil types and ripening patterns that the mountain bears. The reward–wines ripe with intense flavor and color.
