Cabernet Sauvignon United States California California Still Wine 750ml

Avalon Winery produces only Cabernet Sauvignon sourced from Californias finest appellations including Napa Valley and Sonoma County. A variety of vineyard sources and types of oak were used as a spice rack from which to create a richly flavored yet supple wine that will appeal to the Cabernet enthusiast as well as the Merlot drinker.. Only by using grapes from around the state can they deliver on that promise. Coastal vineyards impart the core of intense fruit flavors found in their wines year after year. The grapes were late bloom usually meaning a late crop. The harvest was an amazingly large harvest. The fat, juicy clusters weighed and produced more juice than anticipated and managed to fill every tank and barrel many winemakers had on hand. Rumor has it some winemakers simply had to stop harvest until they had enough room in their winery to receive more grapes. The stainless steel tanks were filled to capacity with grapes for fermentation. The grapes were then chilled and crushed for three days. This helped extract color and fruit flavors before it was inoculated with yeast. After 10-14 days of primary fermentation, the wine was dry and was pressed off for aging in oak barrels. Blending also provides the layers of flavors that sing more like a band than a solo act. The 2005 blend also includes Monterey Merlot for a juicy, rich fruit middle and a touch of Syrah with its luscious blueberry notes. Cabernet fruit provides plenty of plum, cherry, and boysenberry aromas. French oak adds a touch of caramel and cedar. The wine drinks deep in rich berry fruit flavors, with just enough oak to make it interesting and a great lingering finish. The composition is 86% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Syrah, 4% Merlot.. This California Cabernet Sauvignon exhibits rich, slightly smoky aromas of cherries, boysenberries and chocolate. A minimum of eight months aging in French and American oak barrels softened the wine and imparted subtle notes of vanilla and spice.
