Cabernet Sauvignon Texas 2015

Year in and year out, the Jet Wilmeth Vineyard and Canada Family Vineyards continually produce grapes for our top award winning wines. The deep, sandy loam soils and a long growing season are ideal conditions for great grape flavor development and structure.
With just a touch of Cabernet Franc and Merlot, this powerhouse Cabernet Sauvignon makes a bold impression on the palate.
A combination of wild yeast to start fermentations, followed by a cultivated yeast strain to finish, creates a rich and complex palate to this vintage. We aged the wine in a mix of American and French oak, 40% new oak barrels, for a total of 20 months.
Aromatics: Violets, brown spice, dark cherry with a top note of coffee
On the Palate: Red fruit, minerality and brown spice with well integrated tannins
finishing with a lingering coffee and earthy note.
