Description:
We gently destemmed the grapes without crushing them to obtain more full berries and then cold soaked for a day or two. Compared to past vintages, we decreased the pumpovers and maceration time in order to reduce the polyphenolic extraction to create softer wines with well-integrated tannins.We blended our Cabernet Sauvignon with the other four traditional Bordeaux varietal. Merlot not only softens the tannins of our Cabernet Sauvignon, but also enhances its complexity and fruitiness. Cabernet Franc adds a floral and herbal touch, while Malbec, fragrant and dark as ink, amplifies the color and the nose of this blend. Finally, Petit Verdot adds a hint of blueberry. The 2001 Sagelands Cabernet Sauvignon reveals an intense nose of Bing cherry aroma, and a delicate touch of sweet vanilla and caramel. On the palate, this wine shows bright cherry flavors, round tannins and a touch of cocoa powder on the lingering finish. Although this wine can be enjoyed now, it will also improve with a few years of aging thanks to the great balance between fruit, acidity and tannins.
