Wine Details
Price:
$25.00 per bottle
Description:
The Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot are from 3 different local vineyards that are now 6 to 7 years of age. Even though the vineyards are young, the attention to detail by the grower brings forth fruit that is destined for a great wine. The balance of spice and herb from the Cabernet and berry aromas from the Merlot are certainly reminiscent of past vintages, but the intensity and depth of this wine is truly something that comes from the vineyard. The other varietal used is Verdot. These grapes were used in small amounts to help develop the overall character and structure of the wine. Our 2002 Cabernet-Merlot was primarily aged in a combination of new American, French and Russian oak for about 15 months. Portions of the blend were aged in older barrels to help keep the oak level in harmony with the fruit character of the wine. The blend has firm tannins and acidity and will gracefully age with the lovely berry fruit and subtle earthy herb aromas and flavors.
