Spring Mountain Vineyard

This spectacular, huge property-at 850 acres perhaps the largest hillside wine estate in Napa Valley-was put together from the old Spring Mountain Vineyards, Chateau Chevalier, Streblow and Draper Vineyard. It covers an extraordinary range of exposures, terrain and soil types, and offers enough variation in climate to produce a host of Bordeaux varieties, whites and reds, plus syrah and pinot noir. The wildlife here is no less varied; president Tom Ferrell told me that wild turkey, grey fox, coyote, black bear, black mink and even a ring-tailed cat have been spotted on the property in recent years. Although less than 100 acres are currently producing, nearly 230 acres will soon be under vine, and the longer-term objective is to make a single red and a single white Bordeaux blend, plus small reserve bottlings of each. But there may also be small lots of syrah, viognier and pinot noir, the latter variety grown in the coolest section of the property.
