Occasional wine note
This is a big Cab from Spring Mountain in Napa. At $100 it's a steal, though it probably needs another 5 years before it really hits its stride. Dark fruit and a bit of licorice. You'll want to pair this one with steak or meaty and salty veggies. Great today with a little time to open, better in a couple of years.

Vinous
The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve is such a great example of Spring Mountain. Powerful and virile, the classically-built Reserve packs a serious punch. I would give it a few years to soften, but it is super-impressive, even in the early going. Crushed red berry fruit, iron, dried flowers, mint and spice lead into the long, sculpted finish.

Wilford Wong
The 2018 Keenan Spring Mountain Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon is complex and attractive. This wine shines on with aromas and flavors of black fruit, licorice, and hints of oak. Pair it with a grilled, well-marbled ribeye.
