Mercer Canyons Cabernet Sauvignon 2013

A warm vintage gave us ripe Cabernet Sauvignon with aromas of red cherries and cassis. The voluminous fruit carries through in the mouth. Individual vineyard lots were fermented separately and barrel aged in a combination of French and American oak for up to 12 months. Barrel aging the wine brings hints of warm baking spices and adds depth and complexity. Powdery tannins give structure to the wine, while maintaining an elegant, balanced mouthfeel.

Focused, ripe and generous, with red plum, currant and spice flavors, coming together harmoniously against lightly nippy tannins. A hint of orange peel shows on the extended finish.
