SALELong Valley 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon

Pacific Ocean air sweeps down the wondrous Salinas Valley each afternoon to cool the vineyards of Long Valley Ranch as much as 50 degrees on certain days. This condition increases the grapes’ hang time which allows them to ripen slowly and gain depth and intensity. Aromas of ripe plums, blackberries and blueberries fill the nose and are integrated with toasty oak spice and mocha flavors. The mouthfeel is plush and round and is complimented by a soft tannin structure that frames the dark fruit flavors. The finish is rich and abundant and will become a fond memory long after tasting. Aged 8 months in French oak. Try a Roasted Duck or Venison dish to bring out the complexity of this marvelous Bordeaux-style Cabernet Sauvignon and add aged Brie for your post-meal delight. Drink now and until 2023.
