Spring Valley head winemaker, Serge Laville, has crafted an excellent Cabernet with his 2012 'Derby' release. This 100% Cabernet wine starts with dense aromatics of red cherry, red raspberry, red bell pepper and blackberry jam. On the palate there are rich flavors reminiscent of cassis, mocha, sagebrush and hints of tar. This has the richness and deptth to suggest this will cellar for at least another ten years.
