SYV Cabernet Sauvignon

SYV Cabernet Sauvignon Wine Details
Price: $18.00 per bottle

Description: Vintage 2002 was once again harvested in November, over four days. That very long growing season allowed Bruce to pick at exceptional levels of flavor, acid, and sugar. The “cool climate” character of our Cabernet Sauvignon is what makes this wine stand out from the crowd and is the reason for its popularity amongst a small but loyal following. Certain flavors found in all Cabernet Sauvignons are highlighted in our climate. Red sweet bell pepper, tobacco and cigar box, as well as an earthy component that age will develop into rich chocolate are all accented in the Lafond Vineyard. The gentle soft tannins that also mark our climate help to smooth these complex flavors out. Best of all, these qualities make our Cabernet a great bottle to open with hearty food and grilled meats especially lamb.
