Sycamore Vineyard, Cabernet Sauvignon
Image
Deep ruby, with an inviting nose of dark cherries, juniper, mint, cinnamon, clove, and earthy hints of dried rose petals. Packed with juicy berry flavors, mostly cherries and raspberry jam, appealing traces of both mint and dark chocolate. Good balance of fruit, acid and toasty oak. Finishes long and smooth. Looking back at 1995, spring was cool, causing a late bud break and fruit set. Harvest was late, yields were down and berry size was small. This, combined with a long “hang time”, developed intense flavor and good color.
