Cabernet Sauvignon

Cabernet Sauvignon Wine Details
Price: $36.00 per bottle

Description: A blend of three distinctly different vineyards (Chateau Margene 15%, Lock 25%, Casagrande 60%), each providing its own unique bouquet and finish. Our low-yield vineyard practices were followed in all three blocks, resulting in a rich flavor profile. Fermented in small open-top bins, punched down, by hand, three times per day. Aged sur-lie for 16 months and then an additional 12 months in 75% small French oak barrels (10% new) and 25% American oak barrels (25% new). Unfiltered and unfined. “Deep purple color, aromas of blackcurrant with an underlying layer of cedar. Nice mid-palette with firm tannins, good acidity and a balanced finish”. Those who can lay this wine down for 6-8 years will be highly rewarded.
