Oak Knoll Cabernet Sauvignon
Tasting Notes
This wine immediately impresses with dark purple hues in the glass. The nose offers hints of plum, black cherry and currant. This exotic dark fruit is expected from this area of Oak Knoll, found at the benchlands of the southern Mayacamas Range. Intense and complex, the palate has the pleasing structure and weight of a top Napa Cabernet. It has an excellent balance with added notes of vanilla and spice, contributing to a silky mouthfeel leading to a lingering finish.
Vineyards
This is the fourth vintage of Samuel Charles Cabernet Sauvignon to come from Napa Valley, and from a sub-appellation that is becoming known for its superb terroir and distinctive grapes.
Winemaking
After harvesting, careful destemming, and fermentation, the wine is aged 10 months in 30% new French Oak barrels.
