2007 Cabernet Sauvignon

Winemaking Notes
Harvest dates for the 2007 Cabernet were from September 17 - October 9th with an average Brix at harvest of 24.6. The average fermentation on the skins for our 2007 was between 7-9 days, the resulting wine was pressed and left to finish fermentation in stainless steel tanks. The wine was then aged on new and used French and American Oak for 4-6 months.

Tasting Notes

Mirroring flavors, aromas and a bouquet of Blueberry, Blackberry, Mocha, Milk Chocolate and Toffee, give this wine a wonderful impact on the pallet and nose. With the addition of a small amount of Petit Verdot and French Oak aging to further add complexity, the 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon is one of our best Cabernets to date.
