Price:
$36.00 per bottle
Description:
In a continuing effort to focus and develop the flavors of our Napa Valley Cabernet, the winemaking team at Liparita has produced a wine from several vineyard sites and flavor profiles to capture the essence of our vision of Cabernet Sauvignon. Vineyards from Spring Mountain, Rutherford, St. Helena, and Oak Knoll mesh in a manner that leaves no other conclusion that the whole is greater than the sum of the parts. The different vineyard sites each contribute a component to the flavors and aromas, broad palate and structure from the valley floor, olive, cassis and extract from Spring Mountain. The inclusion of Merlot increases the complexity and richness of the blend. This wine was aged for 20 months in French barrels. This 2000 Cabernet Sauvignon promises classic aromas and flavors. It has a sturdy backbone of black fruit and cassis and soft wood with hints of white pepper, cocoa, nutmeg and allspice. Careful barrel selection has contributed a background of broad, but velvety, tannins that frame a well defined palate. While this Cabernet Sauvignon will reward current drinking, it will continue to improve with age for several more years.
