1999 Cabernet Sauvignon, Dry Creek Valley, Estate Bottled Wine Details
Price:

Description: This vintage of the Pezzi King Estate Cabernet Sauvignon comes from a long, cool growing season. The fruit, which remained in excellent condition up until harvest, was picked by individual vineyard block to ensure quality. 70% of the fruit received extended maceration. The wine was aged in French and American oak barrels, gently fined with egg whites, and lightly filtered. Toasted oak, vanilla, red cherry and anise predominate in the bouquet. Ripe fruit carries through in the mouth feel along with a coating of soft tannins that caress the palate. This wine has a full-bodied, lengthy finish. 4,326 cases produced. 2003 GOLD MEDAL WINNER! - 2003 Sonoma County Harvest Fair
