Cabernet Sauvignon, Blend No. 815

Cabernet Sauvignon, Blend No. 815 Wine Details
Price: $17.00 per bottle

Description: We are dedicating the release of our 2003 Cabernet Sauvignon to our oldest daughter, Lucy. Born on August 15, 2003, right in time for the madness of harvest, she has made a huge impact on how Sarah & I manage the balance between winemaking and parenthood. And, because 2003 is a great vintage for our Cabernet, we are happy to put her stamp on it. The 2003 Cabernet Sauvignon, Blend No. 815 is in honor of Lucy’s birthday. This wine represents our pursuit to produce a Cabernet that rivals the successes of our Zinfandel. Once again we were able to source vineyards from different regions to create a unique blend, and our finest Cabernet to date! 2003 was a cooler vintage with low yields that allowed for longer hang times and balanced maturity. The wine is a classic cabernet, satiny, rich and complex. The color is purple, ruby red, with aromas of blackberry, cassis and mocha. The entry on the palette is rich and fruit forward, with jammy flavors and sweet balanced tannins that leave a long lasting finish.
