"Research Cab"

"Research Cab" Wine Details
Price: $40.00 per bottle

Description: The 2002 "Research Cab" is a red wine made from 81% Cabernet Sauvignon, 17% Dornfelder and 2% Merlot. A friend supplied the Cabernet Sauvignon from a “research” vineyard and the Dornfelder and Merlot are from our estate in Bridgehampton. All the fruit was hand-picked, de-stemmed, crushed by foot, and punched down by hand. The “Research Cab” is full of cherry, red plum, red currant, lilac and violet aromas and flavors. A versatile Cabernet-based wine this will match well with rich salmon and tuna dishes as well as veal, pork, beef and duck. The wine was raised in three French oak barrels for over twenty months, racked three times and bottled by gravity. This wine is unfined and unfiltered and may throw a sediment. Enjoy this delicious wine now and over the next four to five years. .
