Kokomo – Cabernet Sauvignon – Sonoma County

Description

Overview: The Cabernet Sauvignon comes mainly from the 100-acre Cabernet Sauvignon vineyard in Alexander Valley, Ruth’s Vineyard, with a little less than a quarter coming from the estate vineyard in Dry Creek Valley. After harvesting the grapes, they are sorted and gently destemmed without crushing or bruising the fruit. The fruit sees a cold soak for 3-5 days and fermentation occurs naturally through native yeast. The fruit is then gently pressed before aging in French oak for about one year, of which 20% is new.

Tasting Notes: This provides good value and a velvety smooth expression of the variety that should satisfy fans of a bigger style. Big-boned in tannin and oak, it settles into itself to show dense jammy flavors of black cherry, currant and chocolate.

Pairing:Grilled steak
