2008 Mount Eden Estate Bottled Cabernet Sauvignon, Santa Cruz Mountains

Reviews:

Notes at Release:
Vineyards in the Sky, the memoir
about the life of our founder Martin Ray, mentions that in his thirty years of
experience, twenty-five inches of winter
rainfall was a harbinger of a great vintage.
Twenty-five inches is what we received from the skies in 2008. This
amount is considered a drought and we had an even drier year in 2007. Under
this severe water stress the vines produce a lot less fruit and this Cabernet
vintage resulted in the magical blend of power and weightlessness which is what
we strive for.
To quote Robert Parker Jr.'s Wine
Advocate tasting notes: "The 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate comes across as
silky, perfumed and impeccably balanced. Dark red berries, flowers, mint and
spices flesh out in this gracious and medium-bodied wine. The Estate is all
about subtly and class. Sweet floral notes reappear to frame the exquisite
finish."
This is a complete expression of our
mountaintop vineyard. Unfined, unfiltered and fermented on indigenous yeasts,
this wine should reach full development by 2018.
Total Production: 1,218 cases
