Wine Details
Price:
$49.99 per bottle
Description:
“Ottimo” is a barrel select wine we make every year from the top barrels of each vintage. Each year we grade and select 5 to 10 barrels from our Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc barrels to make one wine. The grading is partial to mouth feel, extraction and complexity. Each year it can be Cabernet Sauvignon focused, Merlot focused, Cabernet Franc focused or a blend in between. What ever the blend is, it is stylistically rich, complex and full in the mouth. The 2000 “Ottimo” is no exception. It carries the same if not better quality than the 1999 vintage. The 2000 “Ottimo” is very Cabernet Sauvignon forward, with 90%, but tamed with 10% Merlot. The wine shows a rich mouth feel with lush perfume notes that envelope a dense core of black cherry and plum, with hints of tobacco and chocolate. The wine from the front, mid, to the back pallet is complete. The finish has marked d tannins that don’t overpower the wine, but integrate with the fruit. The wine is balanced with tannin and acidity for long term aging.
