Cabernet Sauvignon (1.5L Magnum)

Rutherford

Our Rutherford Cabernet Sauvignon is a wonderful expression of the classic Bordeaux varietal, and comes from our own estate vineyards in the heart of Rutherford, comprised of thicker and heavier adobe soils with small amounts of gravel which are perfect for growing Cabernet Sauvignon. The ideal growing conditions in the vineyard allow our Bordeaux varietals to reach full maturity on the vine without taking on the green, leafy taste of under-ripe fruit.

Tasting Notes

This 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon has a focused deep red to purple color with a brilliantly dark core. The nose exudes an initial attack of bright dark cherry, black fruits, purple flowers and cocoa with a background hint of savory herbs. The palate offers nice heft and weight, with elegant flavors of blue and black fruits, roasted coffee, graphite, vanilla and sage. Its full mouthfeel is structured by firm tannins leading into a poised finish. Pair with a grilled fillet served over a bed of creamy mashed potatoes.

Wine Fact Sheet

The Foley Johnson Rutherford Estate Cabernet Sauvignon was harvested September 17th through October 25th, 2015 under clear night skies and averaged around 3.13 tons per acre. The wine went through 100% malolactic fermentation and was racked to French, Hungarian and American oak (35% new) for aging. After 20 in barrel, the wine was bottled unfiltered to extract pure fruit notes while bringing forth a deeper color and texture.
