Jack London Cabernet Sauvignon 2018
In the nose there are many fruit aromas like black currants, cherry and crème de casis as well as some cinnamon and hints of pine. There are layers of Earl Grey tea in the nose and in the palate. In the palate there’s a burst of juicy blackberries, with round tannins and Girl Scout thin mint cookies in the finish with good length.
Winemakers Notes
2018 had a cool Spring and mild summer which resulted in slow ripening until a heat spike around Labor Day accelerated ripening. Immediately after, the weather returned to mild temperatures again, allowing the grapevines to recover. Individual blocks at Jack London vineyard were picked at the peak of ripeness between September 25th and October 2nd. After an average of 16 days of fermentation on the skins, the lots were then individually pressed off and settled before being transferred into barrels for 30 months of aging.
