American Cabernet Sauvignon

Arrowood 1999 Cabernet Sauvignon Sonoma Valley, California   Winemaker's Notes As a general rule, we eschew the herbaceous qualities that Cabernet Sauvignon can sometimes develop and focus more on up-front fruit and flavor intensity. The result is a more aromatic and forward wine, with rich, sweet black fruit flavors of cassis and blackberry. An earthy, dusty nuance adds complexity to the nose, and toasty oak and spice flavors linger in the balanced finish. Of particular note is the incredibly rich middle of our Sonoma County Cabernet Sauvignon: concentrated, fleshy and unctuous, complemented by elegant aromatic components and softness.

The yields were generous, as were the flavors. Said vineyard manager Bob Steinhauer, "everyone seems to have focused on the size of the crop, but I've been more impressed with the quality. We saw spectacular fruit across the varietals." The grapes for this wine were harvested from September 12 through October 11. Each year since 1981 Beringer Winemaster Ed Sbragia creates his Private Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon by choosing the most expressive fruit from a handful of vineyards. His ultimate goal is a wine with a complex aroma, flavor and structural profile that layers the individual vineyard characteristics into a cohesive and balanced whole. Individual lots of Cabernet Sauvignon from Bancroft Ranch, Tre Colline Vineyard (both on Howell Mountain), Chabot Vineyard, and St. Helena Home (all regular Private Reserve contributors) were blended with a small portion from the Marston Ranch on Spring Mountain "For over 20 years I've made Private Reserve Cabernet and I always enjoy the process. It was especially rewarding in 1997 because we had such great, ripe fruit to work with. In the days leading up to harvest, the fruit I tasted in the vineyards really got my adrenaline going. When we finally decided to pick, as each lot came into the crush pad, I got more excited葉he concentration of flavors was phenomenal! Mouthwatering cherry, blackberry and sweet plum flavors were balanced with a mature phenolic structure and the resulting wine has a juicy-ness factor that I think shows perfect acid-to-fruit balance. I'm always looking for intense flavors and density and this wine has both qualities in spades." -Ed Sbragia, Winemaster More Info | Buy Now Blackstone Cabernet Sauvignon 2001 Blackstone Winery Displays a rich ruby hue; the aromatics unfold in a fusion of pepper, exotic spices and ripe plum.

More Info | Buy Now Cakebread Cabernet Sauvignon 2000 Vineyards The grapes for our Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, which is blended with 20% merlot and 2% cabernet franc, come from more than a dozen vineyards stretching from the cool Carneros district in the south to the warm Calistoga region at the northern end of the valley, with the majority from the mid-valley Rutherford appellation. Blending fruit from multiple clones and microclimates enables us to craft a complex cabernet melding the bright cherry/berry fruit characteristic of Napas cooler regions with the intense black-fruit flavors and firm tannins typical of the valleys warmer climes. Vintage 2000 The 2000 vintage featured a cool, even growing season culminating in a classic Indian summer, insuring that our cabernet, merlot and cabernet franc grapes developed fully ripened flavors prior to being harvested at optimum maturity between late September and mid-October. Winemaking After being crushed and cold-soaked for 24-36 hours, each vineyard lot was fermented separately, with 5% whole berry fermentation to accentuate the wines fruity characters. Warm fermentations in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, to fully extract color and flavor, were completed in 7 days, with an extended maceration of 14-21 days to maximize extraction. The free run juice was then drained and transferred to French oak barrels, 65% new. After blending in spring 2001, the wine aged an additional 14 months in barrel before bottling in August 2002. Tasting Notes The 2000 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon displays a dark ruby/scarlet color and a classic Napa Valley cabernet aroma of ripe black cherry and currant fruit. This is enhanced by well-integrated toast and vanilla oak tones. The wines rich, elegant, blackberry, cassis and plum flavors are beautifully structured by ripe, round tannins and persist through a long, fruit-filled finish. Enticing now, this lovely red will continue developing for 5-8 years and will age well up to 12.

Mouth: The wine enters the mouth with an explosive impression of richly ripe fruit, especially black currants and plums. This pure fruit essence forms a solid core that dominates the wine in its evolution in the mouth. Flavors of licorice and toasted spice as well as textural elements from the finely grained tannins and plush, fleshy mouthfeel envelop this core but never overcome it. The fruit flavors deepen and expand as the wine builds to a prolonged, weighty finish. While this wine is delicious today, in my opinion it may not reach a plateau for 20 years or more.
