Petrified Forest 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon
Vintage: 2015
Varietal: Cabernet Sauvignon
Vineyard: Totem Ridge - Estate Grown
AVA: Knight's Valley, Sonoma County
Reviews:
“Despite the limited yields caused by the lack of rain in 2015, the unique character of this hillside vineyard makes up for it with layers of natural richness and intensive fruit flavors that continue to open up in the glass. To set the tone, the nose is charmed with deep scents of black and blue fruits dusted with hints of cocoa, vanilla, roasted coffee beans, green peppercorns, and toasted walnuts. While the deep, dark and bold notes of black cherry, blueberry, cassis and firm structure are dominant at first, the wine becomes rounder and more opulent as the level of complexity rises. To aid this magical transition, the balanced attack of velvety texture, bright acidity and fine-grained tannins lay the foundation for the earthy, mountain-driven characteristics of wild mushroom, fresh herbs, mineral and black pepper that add more dimension to the lingering finish. In the end, this is a Cab-lovers wine that gets better with more air or more time spent in the cellar.
Food Pairings: Tangy blue cheese, pan-seared duck breast with wild berry reduction sauce, lamb sugo, Porterhouse steaks with all the fixings, slow-roasted stews, and dark chocolate desserts.”
Score: 92 points / “Sommelier to the Stars” Christopher Sawyer
