The Calling 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon, Alexander Valley

Tasting Notes

This full-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon presents blackberry and plum aromatics typical of the Alexander Valley. On the palate, the rich fruit is complemented by accents of sweet tobacco and vanilla. The elegant tannins, oak structure and balanced acidity will age this wine for 10-12 years.

Vineyard Notes

The 2014 harvest was spectacular a near twin to the outstanding 2013 vintage. The vineyards in Alexander Valley ripened evenly throughout producing fruit of exceptional structure and concentration. The Calling vineyards matured to perfection which is clearly reflected in the wines produced from 2014.

Winemaker Notes

Grapes were hand-sorted and gently crushed. The wine underwent native-yeast fermentation in barrel and had an extended maceration period to soften the tannins. After 24 months in 100% French Oak 50%, New, the wine was bottled unfined and unfiltered to enhance complexity and aging potential.
