Tasting notes
The 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon, a blend of 88% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Petit Verdot and 3% Cabernet Franc aged in 70% in new French oak, is impressive. Pure black raspberry and blackcurrant fruit are present in this full-bodied, opulent, but nicely delineated and vibrant wine. The wine has a lot of sappy energy, wonderful freshness and a full-bodied mouthfeel with a long finish. It’s accessible now, but promises to be better in 5-7 years and evolve for 25.

Barnett's 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon (Spring Mountain) is ripe, exotic and full-throttle, with plenty of black cherry, spice and mint overtones. I find the distinctly sweet style a bit distracting, but I imagine some readers might find more pleasure.
