Cabernet Sauvignon

Cabernet Sauvignon Wine Details
Price: $105.00 per bottle

Description: The harvest season in 1999 was cool and kept us waiting until mid October to even begin picking our Cabernet Sauvignon grapes. The incredible intensity of the resulting fruit was well worth the wait. This 100% Cabernet Sauvignon shows great depth and concentration of fruit from start to finish. Twenty-four months of aging in new French oak barrels contributes a beautiful toasty vanilla character to its rich fruit intense aroma. Intense in flavors of plums and blackberries this spectacular wine is velvet on the palate. Just after fermentation this wine received an extended period of skin contact, which moderated the tannin so as to make this wine very drinkable now, however, withproper cellaring, it will continue to develop beautifully for the next 20 years.
