Cabernet Sauvignon, Red Mountain

Cabernet Sauvignon, Red Mountain Wine Details
Price: $30.00 per bottle

Description: All of the fruit for this wine is sourced from two noteworthy vineyards on Red Mountain - Klipsun Vineyard and Ciel du Cheval Vineyard. To this vintage of "Cab" we've added 9% Cabernet Franc from Ciel du Cheval, and 9% Klipsun vineyard Merlot. These wines have been aged in 70% new French oak from the Allier forest in France, which lends a subtle vanilla character on the palate. The 2005 JM Cab is probably the "biggest" cab we've produced; definitely cellaring well for 10+ years but is very approachable today, particularly when paired with food.This rich Cabernet Sauvignon was aged for 18 months in 70% new French oak, and it has a long, lingering finish. (Release date: September 12, 2004, 126 cases produced).
