2015 Cabernet Sauvignon, Barrel Select, Rockpile 13.9% 750ml
Wine Maker Notes
We start with making good harvest decisions that are in line with our philosophy, that begin at the earliest stages of ripeness, that the finished wine will display both varietal character and a sense of place along with more focus on the fruit. We are always looking for expressions of the true varietal character. 2015 Vintage year was an early and short year but delivered another stellar vintage. The 2015 vintage offered excellent growing conditions. A mild winter and spring compounded with almost no rain contributed to early ripening, low to moderate yields and highly concentrated grapes resulting in exceptional quality. 2015 is one of the earliest vintages we’ve seen in over a decade, but it will also go down as one of the best.
