Wine Details
Price:
$50.00 per bottle
Description:
The first vintage to come off our property was bottled as Shadow Lace. We bought the property before this wine was released. It has never been rated and is only available via the internet and in our home State, Minnesota. This wine shows a hint of rich, sweet, fresh herbs such as rosemary, thyme and slight pine. This herb note is subtle and offers a beautiful contrast and complexity to the rich fruit character. On the palate, the wine is impeccably balanced. It has soft, well integrated tannins that seem perfectly matched to the level of fruit.

Varietal Definition
Cabernet Sauvignon:
Cabernet Sauvignon is the most widely planted and significant among the five dominant varieties in France’s Bordeaux region, as well as the most successful red wine produced in California. Though it was thought to be an ancient variety, recent genetic studies at U.C. Davis have determined that Cabernet Sauvignon is actually the hybrid offspring of Sauvignon Blanc and Cabernet Franc. Cabernet Sauvignon berries are small with black, thick and very tough skin. This toughness makes the grapes fairly resistant to disease and spoilage and able to withstand some autumn rains with little or no damage. It is a mid to late season ripener. These growth characteristics, along with its flavor appeal have made Cabernet Sauvignon one of the most popular red wine varieties worldwide.
