Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Wine Details
Price: $45.00 per bottle

Description: The wine’s deep red and purple color gives way to aromas of black cherry, blackberries, cedar, dried herbs, leather and tobacco. This medium, full-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon has flavors of currant, licorice, earth and florest floor with a powerful, lingering tannic finish showing great structure and acidity. This estate fruit was hand sorted and gently crushed into tank to cold soak for 48 hours to extract fruit flavors and deep, rich color. Fermentation went for 14 days and the wine was left for extended masceration (grape skin contact) for an additional week. After a light pressing to preserve elegence, the wine went into 100% French oak barrels. The wine was racked every 6 months and then aged for 21 months in 60% new oak and lightly filtered just prior to bottling.
