About Caran Marquee 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon, Oakville, Napa Valley
A super deal on a stunning Oakville Cab. Caran Marquee is proud to be part of the famed Oakville AVA, their vineyard in Oakville has gravel and sand soils that allow for ideal drainage that keep the vines stressed and searching for water. Roots go deep and the resulting fruit is dark in color with very concentrated juice. Bilateral cordons spread out the grape bunches for even ripening and their modest vineyard plot faces west which allows the grapes to soak up the lingering afternnon sun, drinking in the rays for perfect ripeness and intensity.
This Cab shows ripe, suave tannins, bold aromatics, and fruit notes that only mature Cabernet vines can give. A small amount of Malbec and Petite Verdot are blended in for a touch of spice and texture. Aromas of ripe red fruits, kirsch liqueur, savory herbs, and spice all lead into an unctuous palate of sweet red berries, spiced cedar, purple flowers and crème de cassis, all backed by toasty oak that lingers on the palate for what seems like an eternity.
This bold Oakville Cab can be enjoyed right now with breathing but it can also age for many years to come.
