Growing conditions:
Perfect! 2013 had great growing conditions, with minimal April Frost, warm days/cool nights in July and August then a full Indian summer in mid-September. Vineyard yields were normal despite low winter rainfall while quality appears excellent due to small berry size.
Winemaking:
The grapes were hand harvested, then crushed into a stainless fermentor. 24 hours later, the must was inoculated with D-80 yeast then pumped over daily for 15 days prior to pressing. After completion of malo-lactic fermentation, this cabernet sauvignon was aged for 24 months in French and Hungarian oak prior to bottling.
Tasting notes:
Intense aromas of ripe plum, tart cherry and bittersweet chocolate with wisps of cinnamon are complimented by a background of subtle oak. Rich flavors with layers of large, soft tannins interlocking with complex oak tannins for a long, elegant finish.
Cellaring:
While enjoyable now, this 100% Cabernet Sauvignon will continue to improve with proper cellaring for another 5-8 years in the bottle with a plateau of best drinkability from 2020-2025.
Food selection:
This elegant wine will compliment a large array of food dishes but is best with filet, pork loin, and chocolate desserts.
