Taub Family Vyds Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon 2018

Grapes are harvested, destemmed, and sorted by hand. Cold soak for 3-5 days, followed by 14 days fermentation with 3 daily pump-overs, and an additional 10 days maceration. Transferred to French oak barrels (50% new) for malolactic fermentation and 22 months ageing. Deep garnet-purple with aromas of violets, black cherries, crème de cassis, cedar, cigar box and a hint of dried herbs and potpourri. A voluptuous palate with soft tannins and fantastic freshness. Intense flavors of blackberries, black currants, blueberry compote with layers of licorice and chocolate mint lead to a lengthy finish.
