Wine Garage Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley 07
This Cabernet is a steal at this price. From a vineyard in Yountville where another winery canceled the grape buy. I was at the right place at the right time. Picked ripe at 26 brix – but not over ripe. Clone 877. 50% new French Oak. 15 months on wood. Extended cold soak. Long slow fermentation.
This is a young wine (duh) but shows very well. Extracted black fruit, firm tannins, long finish. Can age 10 years. Best if decanted. Can last a week on the counter – opened – with no gas.
