WINE DESCRIPTION
Rattlesnake Hill, located on the estate, sits at an elevation exceeding 2,000 feet in the Mayacamas Mountains above St. Helena. As expected from Spring Mountain Cabernets, this wine offers a strikingly robust and structured profile. Crafted exclusively from Cabernet Sauvignon, it delivers classic varietal notes of black currants, cherries, licorice, and spices, while the influence of predominantly new French oak imparts a delightful smoky wood essence. Although highly enjoyable with decanting, especially when paired with hearty dishes like steak, this wine is anticipated to gracefully evolve over the next decade or more.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
The Barnett Rattlesnake Cabernet Sauvignon is a remarkable wine that showcases the best qualities of the Cabernet Sauvignon grape.It is known for its bold and intense flavors, with a rich and full-bodied profile. The wine exhibits a deep ruby color, with aromas of blackberry, cassis, and dark chocolate. On the palate, it offers a complex blend of ripe black fruits, such as black cherry and plum, along with hints of tobacco and cedar. The tannins are well-integrated, providing a smooth and velvety texture. The finish is long and lingering, leaving a lasting impression of elegance and finesse. This wine pairs exceptionally well with grilled meats, hearty stews, and aged cheeses.
