Cabernet Sauvignon Estate

Cabernet Sauvignon Estate Wine Details
Price: $22.00 per bottle

Description: The 2001 Cabernet Sauvignon estate fruit was hand harvested and allowed to cold soak in the cellar three days before fermenting in small 200-gallon lots. The must in the open top fermenting bins were punched down by hand twice daily for approximately 20 days then pressed in a small oak basket bladder press. The small press squeezes gently, slowly building pressure to avoid harshness in the finished wine. The result after twenty-four months aging in French oak barrels are multi-layered dark fruit components mixed with anise and lingering peppery finish.
