2009 Bon Passe Cabernet Sauvignon
2009 Bon Passe Cabernet Sauvignon
Description
This is the fifth release of our 100% estate grown, hand-crafted Cabernet Sauvignon. The vineyard is located in the southwestern bench lands of Napa Valley, in the Oak Knoll appellation. The vineyard is comprised of both hillsides and valley floor. Ideal growing conditions throughout much of the 2009 growing season enabled the fruit to ripen at a constant steady pace and develop intense flavors. By the time rains hit in mid-October the grapes had full maturity allowing us to make wines that have vibrant color, good flavor with balanced acids and tannins.Click here for the Wine Enthusiast 93 Point Review

Tasting Notes
Dark in color, the 2009 Bon Passe Cabernet exudes intense red cherry notes and touches of violets on the nose. The palate is rich and layered with blueberries, plum and red currants with hints of toffee and cigar box flavors. This mouth filling cabernet displays firm tannins and finishes with elegance and a lengthy wild blackberry notes. This wine has the flavors and suppleness to be enjoyed on its own while maintaining an elegance that will complement many foods.Vineyard Designation
