2017 Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon
91 points, Wine Spectator
The grapes for the Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon were sourced from a single vineyard at the corner of Oakville cross road. This knoll-top vineyard is home to young vines that are expertly maintained and densely planted meter by meter for sun exposure and grape ripening maturity. The soil of this vineyard is Perkins Gravelly Loam soil which features weathered volcanic rock and alluvial sediments that create iron rich soil. Black cherry, warm black currants and stewed plums with notes of dried mint leap from the glass. Plush dark fruit flavors are met with a touch of bakers chocolate. Gentle on the palate with silky tannins, this is a balanced and elegant wine with warm earth notes on the finish. |
