The 2003 growing season was excellent for all Bordeaux varieties in the Santa Cruz Mountains. A warm September ensured that our cool-climate mountain fruit ripened beautifully. Many of our 2003 reds possess great extract and huge mouth-filling tannins that coat the palate.
We sourced Cabernet Sauvignon from four different vineyards located in four distinct meso-climates throughout the Santa Cruz Mountains. After de-stemming and a 3-7 day cold soak (depending on the fruit) we fermented all lots separately. A small amount of Malbec and Cabernet Franc from our Estate Gist Ranch was blended in to add texture and aromatics. The wine was aged for 22 months in a combination of new (27%) and used American, French and Hungarian oak barrels.
We think this is our finest Santa Cruz Mountains Cabernet to date and represents the cumulative efforts of years of searching for appropriate sites in the appellation that can properly ripen Bordeaux varietals on a consistent basis.
Classic Cabernet aromas of cassis, blackberry, fresh loam and tobacco followed by more red and black fruits on the palate. It is dense and concentrated with bright acidity, mouth-coating tannins and great presence. This wine begs for classic Cabernet pairings such as slow cooked beef, roast meats or grilled steaks. ONLY 618 CASES PRODUCED.
