Description
Once in the glass, our Estate Cabernet Sauvignon reflects an opaque dark purple core. As the aromatics waft towards the nose, they deliver generous layers of cassis, antique wood, cigar box and black currant. On the palate, brooding dark fruits give way to briar, black currant and forest floor. More subtle notes of graphite, wet clay and seasoned leather, transition across the palate. The tannins are nicely balanced by the lush fruits which are in-turn kept fresh by the crisp acidity. This Cabernet Sauvignon continues to evolve on the palate showing depth and complexity with a lengthy finish.
Vineyard Notes
At Clos Pegase we have 410 acres in Napa Valley made up of three vineyards, each with unique characteristics that bring out the very best of the grapes we grow each vintage. By working with these same three vineyards over the decades we have gotten to know the nuances that can be brought out in each wine leading to an unmatched style and level of quality. Each of our three vineyard locations grows Cabernet Sauvignon. Mitsuko’s in Carneros dedicates a section with unique rocky, well-drained soil and maximum sun exposure to Cabernet Sauvignon. Applebone and Tenma in Calistoga are prime Cabernet growing areas, offering sun and terroir distinctive to the region.
