Martin Ray Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon 2018, 750ml
Classic Oakville, with a propensity to age, this wine’s depth is built on a foundation of distinct terroir, vibrant acidity and lush tannins.
100% Cabernet Sauvignon from volcanic benchland vineyards in the heart of Napa Valley east of the Mayacamas Range.
Fermented in small 4-6 ton open top fermenters, with thrice daily pump overs for cap management. Upon finishing fermentation the wine is allowed to rest on its skins for up to a month. Aged in 60% new French oak for 18 months.
Tasting Note:
Satiny layers of black raspberry and juicy black cherry, surrounding a center core of lush dark fruit. Earth and wet stone with fervent, fine-grained tannins, and subtle notes of anise, mint, and tobacco. Strikingly clean and fresh throughout, with a long, rich finish.
