The 2015 Spring Mountain Vineyard Elivette is a medium-bodied red blend with a vibrant core of black plum, black currant, and dark fig, layered with earthy cedar, licorice, and subtle eucalyptus. It offers bright acidity and finely textured tannins, complemented by notes of roasted coffee, spicy herbs, and a long crushed stone finish. The wine’s elegant structure and complexity recall the classic freshness and depth of top Napa Valley blends, balanced with a mineral-driven lift. This vintage is still developing, rewarding some patience to fully reveal its nuanced character.

Serve slightly below room temperature with grilled lamb, roasted game birds, or hearty mushroom dishes to highlight its savory and herbal qualities.
