Oakford Estate Grown Cabernet Sauvignon

Oakford Estate Grown Cabernet Sauvignon Wine Details
Price: $125.00 per bottle

Description: These wines are rich and ripe, the blackberry/cherry fruit flavors are the defining qualities on the nose. On the palette, these wines are lush and velvety, with loads of fruit and very soft tannins. As always with Oakford these wines may benefit from some time in bottle, up to 5 to 10 years, but don't hesitate to try some sooner than that! The total production from the '99 vintage is small, and it is an excellent example of the unique character that defines the Oakford Vineyard. The wine shows excellent balance between suppleness and power. A cedary, vanilla oak spice supplements the traditional expression of ripe, red fruit on the nose. While the wine has the structure to age well, it is also quite approachable due to this abundance of ripe fruit.
