Clos Du Val Estate Hirondelle Vineyard Stags Leap Cabernet Sauvignon

This 100% Cabernet Sauvignon was grown from four of our best blocks of the Hirondelle Estate Vineyard. The wine has deep blackcurrant aromas with a hint of clove. Displaying flavors of blueberry, toast, espresso and fresh cream, there is a long, velvety finish. The growing season started two to three weeks early and progressed perfectly through the ripening process. The lack of rain during flowering this year resulted in a plentiful crop and instead of keeping very warm temperatures through the summer, we had cooling patterns throughout the season that lengthened the harvest out. The longer the growing season yielded high quality grapes.
