年份:2007
摘取來自海拔200到500公尺不同葡萄園的葡萄且分開釀造,分別陳放,並在釀酒師與莊主桶邊測試後,選出最『細膩』且『富結構』的幾桶來釀造,Elivette艾莉薇是Spring Mountain酒莊唯一產出的旗艦酒。
使用波爾多配方調配,2007是極好的年份,在85%法國新橡木桶中陳年21個月,充滿紅色漿果如小紅莓與櫻桃、草莓等香氣,甜新香料與蜜糖氣息如包裹在酒香外層一般,口中除了紅與黑果實的交錯,更有巧克力與乾燥草藥給予複雜感,釀酒師Jac認為現在就已經可以品嚐,且至少能陳年到2030年以後。2007年份僅產2466箱。
Wine Enthusiast:94 points
This blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc shows all the charms of the 2007 vintage. It's an opulent, delicious wine, immediately likeable now for its broad array of blackberry, cherry, raspberry, mocha, cassis and new oak flavors. The tannins are soft, but strong enough to protect this wine for the next six years at the very least.

The Spring Mountain Vineyard rises from 400 to 1,600 feet, covering 225 acres of vines in the western hills of Napa Valley. Elivette is a barrel selection from 135 blocks—mostly cabernet sauvignon (84 percent), with franc and petit verdot. The thin mountain soils give a wine that’s restrained and vinous rather than directly fruity, its supple, almost cushy tannins a relief for what might otherwise seem like cabernet severity (the way Left Bank Bordeaux can seem severe in its youth). Give this enough air and it plumps up to wild blueberry flavors and dark-roast coffee tannins, fresh and elegant, holding its structural refinement and length. This is the best vintage of Elivette we’ve tasted on release.
