Discovering a Hidden Gem: 2022 Broad Brush Spring Mountain Cabernet
It started the way most exciting wines are sourced—while looking for something else entirely.
On an exploratory trip through Napa Valley, I found myself in a cellar with a few notable winemakers, tasting through barrel samples of various Cabernet projects. Each barrel had a story, each vineyard its own micro-climate, and my palate was working hard to keep up, aided only by sparkling water and sips of pour-over coffee.
Amidst the tasting and spirited conversation, I heard a name mentioned that immediately pulled my focus—a familiar, nearly legendary name in Napa wine circles, one that I hadn’t heard in ages, kosher or otherwise.
“Wait—are we tasting those Spring Mountain barrels?” someone asked. My ears perked up.
An Exclusive and Secret Project
Spring Mountain? Cabernet? Kosher? This was a combination I had to explore further. The winemakers exchanged knowing glances and, after a beat, one quietly explained that an iconic, historic estate on Spring Mountain had been experimenting with a hidden project—Cabernet from some of the best blocks in their vineyards, crafted with meticulous care, but kept under wraps.
These barrels weren’t even supposed to be part of the tasting that day, reserved instead for an exclusive and very limited release. The intrigue was instant.
When they finally brought out samples from this secret stash, the room seemed to grow quiet.
A Revelation in the Glass
As the wine poured into my glass, the aromas were immediately captivating—black currants, hints of violet, graphite, black tea, and the signature minerality that only Spring Mountain terroir could deliver. The wine was profound and layered, with fine-grained tannins, striking acidity, and a finish that seemed to last minutes.
I could tell immediately that this wasn’t just any Napa Cabernet. It was a truly rare find, a wine that honored its historic origins while bringing something fresh and deeply complex to the glass.
