DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION
Deep and dark, The Cleaver is a dense, rich and powerful wine. It is silky smooth and coats the palate with intensely concentrated flavors of black plum and blackberry jam. Threads of acidity pace from front to back, balancing the heavy weight and volume of this wine, making it a very food friendly wine. Drink now through 2015. The cleaver is the knife no butcher can do without. One swing and it slashes through even the biggest cuts of meat The Cleaver is also the wine no meat should be served without. One swig and you’ll taste why it pairs perfectly with steaks, ribs, chops… any cut your butcher cleaves up.This vintage had more of a normal weather pattern. Unlike 2010 and 2011, the harvestproceeded without any significant rainfall. There had been fears of another short harvestdue to cool weather in the critical months of April and May when bud development for thenext year occurs. We need not have worried as a healthy crop was forthcoming. There wasplenty of heat to ripen the 2012 crop and a long season to get everything picked at itsoptimal prime and through fermentation. Overall, the vintage expectation is for wines with robust flavor concentration.
