Oblivion - Cabernet Sauvignon Dry Red Wine
WINEMAKING: High quality fruit was sourced from the Paso Robles AVA including selected blocks from Sextant Vineyards, Still Waters, Anderson and Daou Vineyards. The balance of the fruit (5%) came from Chalk Knoll Vineyards located in the San Lucas AVA, Monterey County. The backbone of this Cabernet blend is made up of small lot fermented Cabernet Sauvignon grapes that were punched down three times a day to extract its rich color, flavor & tannin. Petite Sirah was added for additional body and depth while the Mourvedre addition gives the wine a nice aromatic touch, creating a classic Bordeaux style blend with new world flair. Aged 17 months in 20% New French Oak.
Marjoram, bay leaf and orange-rind aromas meet with dark berry and cola on the nose of this bottling. Licorice spice leads the palate strongly, giving spice to the black-plum core.
