Cabernet Sauvignon
Tasting Notes
The 2022 Leaping Horse Cabernet Sauvignon is a luscious Cabernet with deep red-purple hues and flavors of sweet black currant and cherry with hints of blueberry jam, eucalyptus and mint with lovely vanilla and coffee notes. It is smooth, rich and deliciously enjoyable.
Vineyards
At Ironstone, we use crop reduction, leaf removal, organic materials, and drip irrigation to improve the quality and intensity of flavors. Cover crops, which attract beneficial insects, are also employed. In addition, we place owl and wood duck boxes around the vineyards and ponds helping to preserve the surrounding habitats. This Cabernet Sauvignon comes from soils that are sandy loam and well-drained allowing the wonderful ripeness to come through to the grapes.
Winemaking
After traditional fermentation, the Cabernet Sauvignon is aged for six months in new French oak barrels.
