Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

Intense, deep and dark, the 2010 "Estate" Cabernet Sauvignon represents the fourth release of this wine crafted exclusively from our estate vineyards. With the majority of the vineyards planted in the early 1980's, the resulting fruit benefits from a long ripening season. A complex bouquet of blackberry, blueberry and red cherry compote is followed by notes of sweet tobacco, black tea and creme de cassis. Beautiful layers of smoke, white pepper and crushed stone carry through the nose and palate. The creamy texture and mature, silky tannins provide a true example of Spring Mountain's mix of power and elegance. A truly remarkable wine crafted toage for 25+ years or more!

Professional Ratings

    The gorgeous 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate from Spring Mountain displays an opaque purple color along with an intense nose of black currants, licorice and flowers. This rich, full-bodied, well-balanced Cabernet possesses sweet tannin, adequate acidity for uplift and well-integrated wood and alcohol. Especially appealing is the wine’s multilayered texture and long finish. Quite simply, it is the finest wine I have yet tasted from Vineyard 7 & 8. It should drink well for 10-15+ years.

Vineyard 7 and 8, California
After a measured and patient search for a vineyard property in the Napa Valley, the Steffens Family ended their quest when they acquired a forty-acre property atop Spring Mountain. Planted in the early 1980’s to eight acres of each Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay, the property met the family’s stringent requirements to sustainably grow premium grapes allowing them to craft wines with a true sense of place.

Founded in 1999 and named after proprietor Launny Steffens’ life and background in the world of finance with a theme encompassed by numerics, and a keen interest in numerology — “seven” being a number of luck in western culture, while “eight” follows the meanings of prosperity and happiness in eastern culture — Vineyard 7 & 8 is the culmination of the family’s pursuit for producing fine wines including Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay.

One of the most prestigious wines of the world capable of great power and grace, Napa Valley Cabernet is a leading force in the world of fine, famous, collectible red wine. Today the Napa Valley and Cabernet Sauvignon are so intrinsically linked that it is difficult to discuss one without the other. But it wasn’t until the 1970s that this marriage came to light; sudden international recognition rained upon Napa with the victory of the Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars 1973 Cabernet Sauvignon in the 1976 Judgement of Paris.

Cabernet Sauvignon undoubtedly dominates Napa Valley today, covering half of the land under vine, commanding the highest prices per ton and earning the most critical acclaim. Cabernet Sauvignon’s structure, acidity, capacity to thrive in multiple environs and ability to express nuances of vintage make it perfect for Napa Valley where incredible soil and geographical diversity are found and the climate is perfect for grape growing. Within the Napa Valley lie many smaller sub-AVAs that express specific characteristics based on situation, slope and soil—as a perfect example, Rutherford’s famous dust or Stags Leap District's tart cherry flavors.
