tasting notes
Villa San-Juliette Cabernet Sauvignon resounds with vivid red
fruit notes and robust structure. Aromas of black cherry, anise,
and cigar box intermingle with rhubarb, nutmeg, and cedar
notes. This ripe, full-bodied wine offers layers of luscious earthy
flavors and spiciness. Milk chocolate, wild blackberries, and
chanterelle mushrooms move into savory sage and nutmeg. Firm
tannins are lifted by a vibrant acidity that augments the wine's
long, vanilla bean finish.
winemaker's insight
The Cabernet Sauvignon is field blended between clones 4 and
169 during a hand-pick harvest, before it is hand sorted and
destemmed to small-lot stainless steel and concrete vessels. A
four to five-day cold soak takes place for optimum color and
flavor concentration before fermentation. Post ferment, the wine
sits on skins for extended maceration between 20 and 40 days to
ensure ideal structure before pressing. Aging adds richness and
depth to the finished wine.
