Wine Details
Price:
$32.00 per bottle
Description:
85% Cabernet Sauvignon and 15% Merlot, all from Stellar Vineyard and Cougar Hills Vineyard. Our estate vineyards are the exclusive source for all of our wines. Dense, dark ruby color and aromas of blackberry, currants, licorice, herbs, and mocha fill the senses. The palate reveals finely textured tannins, balanced acidity, and a mouth feel that is smooth and lush. The long, reverberating finish leaves lasting impressions of cassis, leather, and toast. The 2002 growing season was typical for the Northwest. Long, warm days and cool nights gave us a fruit with exceptional maturity of flavors, deep colors, and smooth tannins. Hand harvesting, fermenting in small lots with open top fermenters, and punching down by hand yields wine that is full of fruit flavor, color, and velvety tannins. Barrel aging in a combination of French, American, and European oak allows flavors to marry and adds complexity.
