What a perfume... Martha McClellan and Wesley Steffens worked in tandem to craft this inaugural release. The fruit is sourced from two estate vineyards farmed on top of Spring Mountain, as well as the Beckstoffer Melrose Vineyard in Rutherford, CA. The resulting wine shows very focused yet fresh and vibrant aromatics, polished tannins with great tension, smooth texture throughout the wine ending with a very pleasing and lengthy finish. This wine will drink very well upon release, as well will continue to reward with aging in the cellar for many years to come. — 5 years ago

20 years🤔 wow I’ve lost track of time with this pandemic!Dry finish but with the view of tahoe makes it that much better — 7 years ago
Didn't think a petite sirah could age so well! Ultra smooth. Seems like the tannins became more integrated over time. Black velvet. — 9 years ago
Fruit juicy goodness. Dark, inky purple and nice acid/black fruit balance. Blackberry, goose berry, boysenberry...plenty of fruit but lively in the mouth and remarkably light on its feet. Round, soft tannins escort the wine on its finish. I used to recommend Cabernet to accompany that crusty, juicy medium rare filet... but this makes a brilliant case for carignan from a good producer and old vines. — 5 years ago
Super light for a petit sirah, has jamminess/fruitiness that goes down smooth, with just the slightest tannins. Native yeast and minimal sulfur - started chilled and continued through the night, excellent wine to pair with anything. Would buy again! Purchased from Flatiron. — 6 years ago
Another wonderful Merlot. Mountain wines are known for beautiful dark color, intense aromatics and full bodied flavors. This Howell Mountain wine does not disappoint. Beautiful ruby red color and great aromas of blue fruit, cedar and a little earthiness. The tannins on this young wine are very apparent but seem to integrate nicely with the intense flavors of blueberries and baking spices while in your mouth. I am sure this wine will improve with age but it drinks very well today. — 8 years ago

A fun semi sweet table wine. Goes down easily. Even the bottle is fun - red!
A note: it is produced in Palisade, CO not in CA as listed on the front page. — 6 years ago

Vacation day in Tahoe, so we opened this beauty for 1 hour before dinner. We enjoyed it all the way through. Sweet nose, smooth, with a balance of choice fruit. Wow! #springmountain — 9 years ago
