Wine Details
Price:
$100.00 per bottle
Description:
Un-fined, un-filtered, un-racked. Just the pure beauty of what the 2002 vintage produced in the Sullivan Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon. Perfect wine for aging and enjoying for the special occasion. 100 cases produced. This wine smells of blackberry, black cherry, cranberry, pepper, sap, menthol, and camphor. The mouth entry is bright, clear and silky with aromas of chocolate, ripe black fruits and spice. An extremely long finish lasting more than 90 seconds with very strong flavors of dark chocolate and coffee.

Varietal Definition
Cabernet Sauvignon:
Cabernet Sauvignon is the most widely planted and significant among the five dominant varieties in France’s Bordeaux region, as well as the most successful red wine produced in California. Though it was thought to be an ancient variety, recent genetic studies at U.C. Davis have determined that Cabernet Sauvignon is actually the hybrid offspring of Sauvignon Blanc and Cabernet Franc. Cabernet Sauvignon berries are small with black, thick and very tough skin. This toughness makes the grapes fairly resistant to disease and spoilage and able to withstand some autumn rains with little or no damage. It is a mid to late season ripener. These growth characteristics, along with its flavor appeal have made Cabernet Sauvignon one of the most popular red wine varieties worldwide.
