While you’re doing your spring cleaning, make room in your cellar for these fantastic wines. We’re making it easy for you to stock your cellar by offering $25 flat rate ground shipping on any case purchase made in the month of March! But hurry - limited production and exceptional reviews combined with high demand will make some of these releases quick sell-outs, and our case shipping offer expires on March 31st. |

| “Rich, plush and well-structured, with briary currant aromas that open to layered black cherry, dark chocolate and dried herb flavors. Finishes with supple tannins. Drink now through 2019. 95 cases made.” —T.F. |
“This stands out from the pack for the sheer complexity of its flavors, as well as the structural integrity. It’s absolutely dry, and the tannins are strong, in the Spring Mountain way. The fruit is terrifically concentrated, with potent flavors of blackberry, currant, dark chocolate and anise; there’s a lovely olive note that grounds the wine and makes it earthy. Production was a mere 318 cases. Drink now–2021.” - Steve Heimoff |

| “Few wines in the world can boast this concentration of ripe, flashy fruit. It’s decadent and enormous in blackberries, cherries, currants, licorice, bacon and spice flavors, which are all melted into the perfect fusion of alcohol and warmth, and elaborated with smoky, toasty oak. With its level of elegance, this is wonderful now, and it should drink well over the…” — S.H. | “Fresh and vibrant, offering snappy dark berry, black licorice, crushed rock and savory herb. Firms on the finish, with clinging tannins. Drink now through 2024. 318 cases made.” –JL | |
