Long-term relationships with growers ensure an annual supply of top-quality fruit from diverse sites. This allows the crafting of a stylistically consistent and complex Cabernet marrying the lush black fruit and sturdy tannins typical of the valley’s warmer northern districts with the bright fruit and acidity characteristic of its cooler southern climates. Each individual lot of fruit was hand-harvested at night and cold?soaked for two days prior to fermentation to foster early color, flavor and tannin extraction. The separate lots were then fermented and barrel aged before blending, with tank size, yeast strain, fermentation temperature and barrel type specifically tailored to the fruit character of each lot. In 2016, the component wines aged six months in French oak barrels, 56% new, before blending and the final blend spent another 17 months in barrel before bottling.\n\nTasting notes: Deep shades of purple, and rich dark-red hues, signal that this is a quintessential Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. Aromas of ripe blackberry, boysenberry, dark chocolate and notes of oak precede balanced acidity and firm tannins. With forward fruit, and welcome mineral undertones, this is a perfectly balanced wine that is approachable now, yet will age beautifully. The grapes from throughout the valley that were farmed to make this wine, provide a natural diversity of flavors.\n\nPairs well with: An excellent companion to beef, rich pork dishes and game.\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"LIQUOR OX","offers":[{"title":"Wine \/ Yes","offer_id":49098070524126,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0744\/6986\/7742\/files\/1718837.jpg?v=1790128650","url":"https:\/\/liquorox.com\/products\/cakebread-cellars-napa-valley-cabernet-sauvignon","provider":"LIQUOR OX","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
