Tasting Notes:
Aromas of red raspberries and dusty chocolate are prevalent with hints of toasty oak and spice. This Cabernet Sauvignon is soft in the palate with layers of berries, cocoa, spice and silky tannins.
Vineyard Notes:
Moderately early bud break in March with near-perfect weather through bloom. The mid season rain did not effect quality; it was just enough to wash the dust off the leaves. Fairly warm through harvest, but cool nights helped keep quality high.
Production Notes:
The grapes were crushed and fermented in small stainless steel tanks; temperature controlled to ensure quality. The wine was pressed to dryness and aged in both barrels and tanks for 14 months. The wine was blended then bottled in January 2009.
