Stimson Estate Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon

Color: dense ruby red with purple highlights

Scent: fruit-driven bouquet with juicy fresh cherry aromas, hints of black olives, spices, and delicate roasted notes

Taste: soft, fruity, and beautifully balanced, the juicy cherry and fine roasted aromas are also noticeable on the palate, a pinch of Merlot gives the wine an even softer texture and multi-layered fullness

The grapes for this Cabernet Sauvignon come from neighboring California and are first gently crushed and then traditionally cold-macerated for 24 to 48 hours. The mash is then carefully heated and the five- to ten-day fermentation, both in classic stainless steel tanks and in rotating fermentation tanks, is started. The fermenting wines are regularly tasted in order to draw them off the mash exactly when their perfect balance of color, aromas, and tannin is reached. The subsequent traditional aging in French oak completes the wine with even more depth and gives it fine roasted and spice aromas. The final blend is put together only shortly before bottling.
