Rated 92-Points by Vinous
Dark medium red. Complex perfume of cherry, red currant, raspberry, peppery herbs and rose petal. Fine-grained and quite suave; the roundest and smoothest of these 16s but without any Merlot chocolatey overripeness or excessive softness. Finishes with strong dusty tannins and hints of medicinal menthol and licorice.
Spring Valley Vineyard fruit is hand-picked, hand-sorted and gently de-stemmed by gravity. During the 10-20 day fermentation, each tank is tasted daily until Spring Valley Vineyard Winemaker Serge Laville decides it is time to press using a stainless steel basket presses.
In keeping with Spring Valley tradition, originally instituted by founding winemaker Devin Corkrum Derby, hand punch-downs occur twice a day until the end of alcoholic fermentation. The wine is transferred by pump into barrels for secondary fermentation and gets racked several times for clarity.
Pairing
Lamb skewers, seared duck breast, pasta with lentils.
2016
The 2016 vintage experienced the best of both worlds with a hot spring and early summer. A cooler than normal end of the ripening season allowed the wines to have ripeness, yet maintain freshness and elegance.
