Winemaker Ignacio Blancas Notes
Family Selection- Using grapes from two separate blocks of the Barlow estate vineyards, the wine “Family selection” came together to make a 99-case lot of 100% Cabernet Sauvignon. The two blocks used for this Cabernet comes from an area of the vineyard that has steep hill sides with great drainage, bringing delicious floral notes and bright red fruit, and a part of the vineyard that is on the valley floor which brings out the outstanding bold flavors of the northern Napa Valley. There is real bramble berry and blackberry-bush character
to this as well as underbrush, coffee bean and eucalyptus. Full-bodied with very chewy
tannins, a lovely serving of acidity and a fruit-forward finish, Intense but very enjoyable.
This wine was aged in ...more... 100% new French oak for 30 months and then bottle aged for 2 years.
