Hindsight Wines Estate Cabernet Sauvignon
WHY WE LOVE IT
- Estate grown, this Cabernet Sauvignon is described as producing ripe, concentrated, and supremely balanced wines.
- Promises aging potential for a decade or more.
- The Hindsight Estate Cabernet Sauvignon comes from a small estate vineyard, a gently sloping site in the heart of the Calistoga AVA on the Napa Valley floor.
- Planted in 2004 to Cabernet Clone 4, this beautifully mature vineyard with well-drained Bale Clay loam soils yields small, concentrated grape clusters that burst with intense, intriguing flavor.
Varietal: 100% Cabernet Sauvignon
Elaboration: Hindsight Vineyards emphasizes creating wines with character, avoiding a homogenous, predictable style. This wine is aged in 100% French oak barrels, 50% new.
Tasting Notes: Black fruit dominates this Cabernet, with a core of juicy blackberry, black cherry and plum flavors. Hints of toasty oak, licorice, spice and a whiff of chaparral add complexity to an otherwise fruit forward wine. There’s a fresh buoyancy to this well-structured, full-bodied Cabernet, but the overall mouth feel is supple and smooth.
