Description:
The 2001 Cabernet Sauvignon is a result which we consider a highpoint of our efforts in making a wine from this, the king of red wine grapes. In addition to the primary Cabernet Sauvignon, we also grow small quantities of Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot, the classic blending grapes of Bordeaux, which we blend with the Cabernet to add complexity and smoothness. The wine passes through primary and malolactic fermentation using only indigenous yeasts then is aged for 20 months in French Oak. We use a mixture of 50% new barrels combined with one and two year old barrels. After aging the wine is bottled without fining or filtering. It is unusual in a Cabernet Sauvignon of this intensity to be so approachable and ready to drink now. If it is your habit to drink wines from the Napa Valley or from France, you will be pleasantly surprised at the quality and sophistication of this wine, grown and produced locally. Another surprise will be the reasonable pricing.
