2000 Cabernet Sauvignon

2000 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon Wine Details
Price: $50.00 per bottle

Description: Selecting the best of the vintage for a reserve begins with recognizing the fruit potential in the field (67% hillside vineyards), then maximizing quality in the cellar. Each vineyard lot is aged separately and after 18 months of aging in 60% new French oak barrels, we taste all the barrels and select the best tasting barrels for blending for our reserve. Once the blend is made, the wine goes back to barrel for another 6 months for a finishing touch of barrel aging. Red and black fruits, toast, spice, black cherries, matchstick, and hints of chocolate weave an intricate, rich tapestry of complex flavors. A deeply aromatic wine with hints of eucalyptus and menthol. The broad mouth of flavors and velvety tannins provide good definition and a long finish to entice your palate.
