ExS Spring Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon 2020

This no-nonsense, nicely concentrated wine offers a firm, tannic texture, good blackberry, black olive and sage flavors and a medium body. It comes off a bit lean and edgy but will taste great with a steak. Or wait for it to mellow with some time in cool storage. Best from 2027. Score – 93. (Jim Gordon, Wine Enthusiast, Oct. 1, 2023)
