2000 D.R. STEPHENS MOOSE VALLEY CABERNET SAUVIGNON

2000 D.R. STEPHENS MOOSE VALLEY CABERNET SAUVIGNON Wine Details
Price:

Description: Intensely perfumy, this wine displays an exotic blend of blackberry/cassis, cedar, cocoa, clove, and plum. The palate impression is rich and round, with surprisingly soft tannins gracing the finish. Sweet fruit juice and vanilla flavors linger at the finish. Crafted as a wine to cellar for 5-8 years, the wine nonetheless demonstrates early approachability. This wine was produced from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon grapes, entirely grown on the D.R. Stephens Estate in Napa Valley. It contains a blend of four different clones of Cabernet Sauvignon. The wine was aged in 100% French oak, 80% new, for 22 months.
