The 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon shows great depth
and structure. Our vines were farmed meticulously maintaining
the
proper amount of cluster/clusters for each individual shoot. This
technique produces a very intense wine that captures the flavors
of our site. The wine was aged in 85% French oak and 15% American
oak barrels, 57% of which were new. The wine was bottled without
filtration.
There are aromas of blackberry, anise, cocoa and
wood smoke, which continue on the palate with the flavor of black
cherry. Optimum harvesting produces soft, silky wines with rich
tannins that will continue to develop with age, but are approachable
when young.
