2003 Richard Partridge Cabernet Sauvignon

Winemaking:

Wine was fermented in sixty gallon French oak barrels for 21 months.
 

The Vineyards: 

100% Cabernet Sauvignon from the Sacrashe Vineyard in the hills above Rutherford, and Stanton Vineyards in the Oakville Appellation.
 

Tasting Notes:

Inky, magenta color. Dark, rich, young and fairly muscular, this wine is loaded with cinnamon, spice and black cherry fruits.  Upon tasting, these aromas become dominant flavors and combine with cherry cola and black cherry to bring out the pedigree of this wine.  Powerful ripe tannins and hints of sweet oak add to the age worthiness of this wine.
