Spring Mountain

Spring Mountain Vineyard is a historic Napa Valley estate on the Spring Mountain District in the Mayacamas Mountains above St. Helena, one of the mountain AVAs producing Napa's most structured and ageworthy Cabernet Sauvignons. The estate was assembled over decades from three historic 19th-century vineyard properties: Miravalle, La Perla, and Chevalier — names that appear together in the Miravalle-La Perla-Chevalier bottling. The total estate covers 845 acres with 122 acres under vine at elevations of 800–2,400 feet. The flagship Cabernet Sauvignon Trois Cuvées is a selection from the estate's finest blocks. At auction, Spring Mountain averages $91 per bottle across 124 lots, with prices from $10 to $915 — the upper end driven by older vintages and large formats. The Spring Mountain District's volcanic and marine sedimentary soils produce Cabernet with distinctive herbal complexity, firm tannins, and exceptional aging capacity. Spring Mountain gained pop-culture fame as the filming location for the 1980s TV series Falcon Crest.

The estate's 122 planted acres span 800–2,400 feet elevation, producing Cabernet Sauvignon with mountain acidity, firm tannins, and the herbal complexity of volcanic and marine sedimentary soils.
124 lots average $91 per bottle, significantly below comparably-rated Spring Mountain District producers, offering strong value for collectors seeking mountain Napa Cab.
The Trois Cuvées name references the three historic estate components (Miravalle, La Perla, Chevalier) blended into the flagship bottling.

In the Glass

Spring Mountain's Cabernet Sauvignons are classic mountain Napa: blackcurrant, cedar, dried herb, and a distinctive volcanic mineral-savory quality distinct from valley floor fruit. Firm, grippy tannins and high natural acidity demand 10–15 years of patience. The Miravalle-La Perla-Chevalier bottling shows the most complexity; the Trois Cuvées is more concentrated and age-worthy.
