More About 2021 Barnett Vineyards Spring Mountain District Cabernet Sauvignon Nestled within the contours of a 35º slope on Spring Mountain, Barnett's Vineyard is meticulously tended vine-by-vine, ensuring each berry reaches the pinnacle of ripeness. Post-harvest, renowned winemaker David Tate oversees the fermentation of each block independently, conducting multiple daily punch-downs to enhance flavor concentration. Crafted to showcase Spring Mountain's most distinct characteristics, displayed with power and grace, Tate and his team intricately combine fruit from their high-elevation Estate and neighboring York Creek Vineyard in creating their Spring Mountain District Cabernet Sauvignon. In crafting the 2021 blend, David incorporated arround 10% Petit Verdot to enhance depth and structure, achieving a harmonious balance with the rich and supple Cabernet Sauvignon fruit. Priced under $100, it's no surprise that the winery has had an exemplary presence on Spring Mountain for over three decades.
