Gold Medal Winning, Limited Production Red Mountain Reserve Cabernet!
This Reserve Red Mountain Cabernet received a Gold Medal in the 2021 San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition!
The wine is sourced from grapes grown in the prestigious Red Mountain AVA, known for its exceptional terroir and producing iconic, award winning, warm climate Cabernet Sauvignon grapes. The vineyards for this Reserve Cab are less than a stones throw away from Force Majeures Red Mountain Vineyard. Bel’Villa Vineyard sits just below Force Majeure sharing a border with them and is next door neighbors to some of the most famed vineyards in all of Washington including those of Quilceda Creek, Ciel de Cheval, Col Solare and more! These vineyards were planted 26 years ago in 1997 by the Hedges Family and are still managed by them today and are in the process of being converted into biodynamic.
The wine offers a luxury drinking experience with its impeccable quality, showcasing the richness, depth, and complexity of a well-crafted Cabernet Sauvignon. Cabernet Sauvignon from Red Mountain AVA is renowned for its aging potential. This wine can be enjoyed now, but it also has the potential to develop further complexity and nuances with extended cellaring, providing a long-term investment for wine collectors. Aged in 100% American Oak Barrels, 27% New with only 550 cases produced!
This Cabernet Sauvignon (80% Cab Sauv, 15% Cab Franc, 5% Merlot) captures the essence of Red Mountain, offering a unique expression of the terroir. Loaded with concentrated black currant and black cherry up front, followed by lovely hints of vanilla, licorice and crushed rose petals on the nose. It is as intense as it is complex and compelling with vibrant acidity, silky tannins and a long, lovely fruit filled finish!
Extremely limited and Only Here, won't last!
