2009 - SOLO Cabernet Sauvignon

Vintage Notes Compare the nearly thirty days of intense frost from spring 2008 to the fewer than five frost incidents in 2009, the start to the vintage was much less eventful for growers who were able to sleep nights not worrying about the threat of frost. Late spring rains delayed irrigation needs, and the warm spell in June helped curtail excessive canopy development. The nearly 14 days of 100°F plus temperatures that mark a typical growing season, 2009 counted perhaps only four or five overall, helping to reduce demand for water when the resource was relatively scarce. Tasting Notes Fragrant bouquet of sweet spices and dried herbs with flavors of red Fuji apple and a layer of lightly toasted oak. Full-bodied with a strongly-balanced core of deliciousness.
