2001 Walla Walla Valley Estate Grown and Produced Cabernet Sauvignon

2001 Walla Walla Valley Estate Grown and Produced Cabernet Sauvignon Wine Details
Price: $30.00 per bottle

Description: 80% Estate Grown Cabernet Sauvignon and 20% Estate Grown Merlot from Cougar Crest Vineyard and Stellar Vineyard. Presents lush, mature aromas of cassis, blackberry, lavender, and mocha to the nose and a dense, black ruby color to the eye. Powerful and silky impact on the palate gives blackberry jam, mocha and hints of lavender and mint. The mid-palate and luxurious finish wraps a spicy oak flavor around the rest for a lasting impression. The warm growing season gave us fruit with exceptional maturity of flavors, deep colors, and smooth tannins. Open top, small fermenters, hand punch downs and gentle basket pressing gave us wine full of fruit and aroma and no harsh bitter tannins. Aged in 100% new oak barrels from French, America, Russian and Hungarian forests for added complexity, it promises to be a wine that can be enjoyed when new and for many years in the future.
