A blend of 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 18% Cabernet Franc and the rest Petit Verdot, the 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon Spring Mountain offers a classic Mountain fruit profile with its complex aromatics and fresh, focused, chiseled and structured style on the palate. Mulberries, incense, exotic flowers, and spice all leap from the glass of this inky colored Cabernet Sauvignon, and it's medium to full-bodied, structured and vibrant on the palate. Brought up in 80% new French oak, it has loads of potential but needs 2-4 years of bottle age.

The 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon (Spring Mountain) is sensual, plush and inviting. It is also the softest and most open-knit of these 2015 Cabernets from Robert Craig. Soft tannins and succulent, red-toned fruit add to the wine's gracious, alluring personality. Super-ripe red cherry and plum fruit are pushed forward, with hints of sweet French oak, kirsch, vanillin and spice that add shades of complexity.

A blend of 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 18% Cabernet Franc and 7% Petit Verdot, the 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon Spring Mountain District has a deep purple-black color and nose of baked blackberries, warm plums and black cherries with hints of spice cake, black soil and cedar chest. The full-bodied palate has prune and baked berries flavors with chewy, slightly hard tannins and a spicy finish.
