Vanderpump Cabernet Sauvignon Wine
Maker Notes
Our Sonoma County Cabernet is made from Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Petit Verdot grapes, sourced from the stunning vineyards of the Sonoma Valley AVA and Alexander Valley AVA. Aged in 100% French Oak for 18 months, this wine has a deep ruby color and rich hue, with a nose of dark fruits like blueberry, plum, and raspberry. Lush tannins give this wine a long, elegant finish.
TASTING AND DETAILS
In collaboration with renowned Winemaker Tom Hinde, Vanderpump Wines continue a tradition of excellence in Sonoma, and combine our love of the traditional Old World style with the incredible bounty that California has to offer.
VINIFICATION
All of our fruit is hand sorted and fully destemmed to small stainless steel tanks. Cold soaks (5-7 days), warm fermentations (85-90 degrees), and twice-daily pump overs were done this year in order to express the vintage. Total skin contact ranged from 19-34 days with all fermentations being carefully basket pressed and put to barrel on full fermentation lees for malolactic. Native yeasts and malolactic used with only small lots conducted using cultured Bordeaux isolates.
