Wine Details
Price:
$65.00 per bottle
Description:
This fourth vintage from Marston Family Vineyard reconfirms our focus to produce the highest quality wine from our vineyard in the Spring Mountain District that we have cultivated since 1969. The stony mountain soils provide an environment that intensifies the flavors of the fruit while producing smaller fruit clusters and berry size. 2001 was a superb year for mountain grapes. A dry winter and hot spring weather led to an early harvest with yields down between 5-15%. The warm days produced thicker skins on the Cabernet Sauvignon grapes and therefore significantly more flavor. With our winemaker, Philippe Melka, we chose our favorite blocks in our 50 acre estate vineyard to produce a very limited amount of only 500 cases of our Marston Family Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon. The 2001 vintage will reveal a wine that will age beautifully for years to come.
