$75.00 per bottle
Description:
This is the perfect site for the production of ultra-premium cabernet sauvignon. The thin calcareous rich soils that overlay the limestone-clay bedrock ensure vine stress and incredible flavor concentration in the resulting wine. The classic warm days and south facing topography of the vineyard maximizes ripeness and flavor intensity, while the cooling influence of the nearby Pacific Ocean (diurnal variations of as much as 50°) enable the grapes to retain their natural acidity. The 1700 ft. elevation enhances phenolic development, giving intense color and tannin structure.
This 2002 Viking Cabernet Sauvignon speaks of powerful mountain fruit. Its palate-gripping flavors of bright red cherries with underlying hints of tobacco leaf are classic varietal characteristics enhanced by this extreme site.
