Cabernet Sauvignon

Cabernet Sauvignon Wine Details
Price: $40.00 per bottle

Description: Caution! This wine is not for the faint of heart. Our 1999 Cabernet Sauvignon is a powerhouse Cabernet. The fruit came from Howell Mountain in the Napa Valley. The expression of Howell Mountain is completely obvious in this wine, where thin volcanic soils produced concentrated flavors in the grapes. The volume on this wine is turned all the way up right now with dark ripe fruit that competes for power with the French and American oak lactones. This wine, although a little too potent right now, will become a phenomenal, balanced wine in 2-3 years. The years following, the wine will only continue to only get better with age.
