Correlation 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley

Wesley Steffens’ new Correlation Wine Company, launched in 2017, is a new adventure for this talented winemaker who worked four harvests at Harlan Estate and then at his family's estate, Vineyard 7 & 8, in Spring Mountain. This first release, 2014 Correlation Cabernet Sauvignon is a blend of 92% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Merlot and 2% Petit Verdot. The fruit is sourced from two estate vineyards farmed on top of Spring Mountain, as well as the Beckstoffer Melrose Vineyard in Rutherford, CA. The wine aged 26 months in 70% new French oak. Robert Parker scored this 94 points saying "His 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon is a blend of 93% Cabernet Sauvignon, and the rest Merlot and Petit Verdot. This is a 1,100-case cuvee showing loads of blueberry and blackcurrant fruit, licorice, charcoal embers and baking spices. It is dense, full-bodied, ripe and much in the style of 2014 with its lusciousness and elegant precociousness. Drink it over the next 15 or so years." Extremely Limited!
