Wine Details
Price:
$80.00 per bottle
Description:
This is the debut of a project that Mark Neal is personally very excited about. Rutherford is the home of Mark’s mother and was his home growing up, where he learned viticulture from his father, Jack. The family controls three vineyards and this is the first vintage bottled as a vineyard designated wine. The ranches are all farmed organically and produce Cabernet Sauvignon grapes with expressive characteristics of the land.
The wine is fermented in small stainless steel boxes, “punched-down” several times a day to extract the flavor, color and texture desired by the winemakers. French oak barrels are used to age this wine in caves for almost 27 months. Wonderfully dark and garnet colored for a 100% Cabernet Sauvignon. Expansive floral, toasty oak and berry aromas complement the classic flavors of cassis and Cabernet fruit. The mouthfeel is broad and firm, balanced perfectly with rich, ripe flavors of spice, dark berry fruit, velvety tannins, good acidity and a long finish.
