"It will be frustrating trying to find any of the 25-case production of the 1991 Cabernet Sauvignon Spring Mountain Rattlesnake Hill. This wine is an intensified version of the Spring Mountain cuvee. A profound bottle of Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, it should last for 20-25 years. Readers should make every effort to track down this remarkable wine. This 1991 Cabernet Sauvignon is the first I have tasted from Barnett Vineyards. I was blown away by its excellence. These people understand great winemaking, demonstrating what heights Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon can achieve."

The fourth-largest wine producer in the world, led by California. American fine wine is defined by ripe, expressive fruit and a spirit of innovation, with Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon among the most sought-after wines globally.
The world's most planted premium red grape, yielding deeply colored, tannic and structured wines with cassis, cedar and graphite notes. Firm tannins and acidity make it exceptionally age-worthy, whether as a varietal or the backbone of a Bordeaux blend.
