Spring Mountain Vineyard Red Blend Elivette Spring Mountain District Napa Valley 2009 (Magnum 1.5L)
94 point MAGNUMS! The incredible 2009 vintage of Elivette is SHINING in the here and now – 16 years young and fully licensed to drive! A full $485 LESS than the winery price means it’s time to grab the keys for yourself!
2009! A ludicrously overlooked vintage in my book when it comes to Napa Reds, and this MAGNUM is more than happy to prove my case! A moderate growing season that developed slowly, with perfectly balanced acidity, full-ripeness of fruit without too much sugar, or any over-ripe raisin characteristics to the grapes – it all bodes very, VERY well for a cellar-capable GEM like this. Fill up a magnum and let time do its thing – and the results are downright SPECTACULAR!
Plush, layered, and oh-so expressive, and just downright BURSTING with blackberry, cocoa powder, and wildly complex and savory mountain herb intensity that lingers like a stage-5-clinger. Silky-fine tannins and vibrant, illuminating brightness make this just hitting a plateau of sheer and utter brilliance that should likely last another 20+ years yet! Not $600, we’re talking about $109! For 1.5 LITERS of life-changing deliciousness.
Whatever are you waiting for?!?!
** All orders ship from our West Coast warehouse. Marathon orders will begin shipping in January, so please allow up to 6 weeks for us to reach all states. Thanks for your patience! **
