Laurel Glen Estate Cabernet, Sonoma Mountain

Laurel Glen Estate Cabernet, Sonoma Mountain Wine Details
Price: $55.00 per bottle

Description: Not since 1985 and 1986 has California had back-to-back outstanding vintages. But then along came 2001 and 2002, a pair of rather different vintages that predictably produced different, but spectacular, wines. Where 2001 Laurel Glen is restrained and classical, 2002 makes a dramatic statement with its dense and opaque core and bright ruby rim, its high toned black cherry nose, and long cassis finish. This is a wine that needs a lot of time to show itself, and I’d recommend letting it breathe for several hours before serving it. As for us at Laurel Glen, we think that over time, a wine true to its mountain origins will be more satisfying, and, now with 25 harvests under our belt, we have a track record to support that claim.
