$55/bottle under the original label
This fantastic Santa Cruz Mountains Cabernet is sourced from the Raines Vineyard on the steep hillsides up above Saratoga. Aged in approximately 45% new American oak (nice Canton cooperage) and priced to sell at $55/bottle, its an exceptional offer at just $18/bottle. There are only 125 cases available so SCM Cab-lovers should move quickly!
Oh, did I mention, the wine is good (great, actually)? Classically-styled, it weighs in at just 14.2% alcohol and is perfectly-ripe with juicy, mouthwatering acidity.
Deep ruby/garnet combo in the glass. A core of black cherry and currant mixes with earthy graphite and crushed gravel notes with a pretty rose petal and Provence herb halo making things really interesting. Beautifully balanced and complex aromas. The palate is equally beguiling with supple, ripe blackcurrant and black cherry fruit, mouthwatering acidity and a robust, gravelly structure that carries the robust fruit to a long, sustained finish that echoes on your palate for a good minute. Yum.
