2006 Vineyard Selection Cabernet Sauvignon, Sperling Vineyard

Subtotal: $0.00

About This Wine:

Our Vineyard Selection Series wines are hand-crafted from specially selected lots of wine which showcase the unique characteristics imparted on a varietal by a particular vineyard. The grapes used in these wines are selected from areas of the individual vineyards which display concentrated varietal characteristics as well as good balance coming into the winery. Extended ageing in both barrel and bottle help to soften the wines before release.

Vintage:	2006

Tasting Notes:

Aged for 26 months in small French oak barrels, the 2006 Sperling Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon is intense, yet balanced, with black currant and eucalyptus notes distinctive of this vineyard. Soft tannins along with layers of clove and vanilla continue into a rich, lengthy velvety finish.

Winemaker Notes:

Each lot used in this wine was selected because of its robust varietal character, depth and fruit projection. Fermentation took place in small stainless steel tanks, during which time the wine was pumped over twice daily followed by a three day extended maceration on the skins. The free-run wine was then moved by gravity to small 60 gallon French and American oak barrels for 26 months, with careful rackings of the wine taking place every four months providing natural clarification before bottling.
