2016 MC Signature Cabernet Sauvignon

VINTAGE: 2016

APPELLATION: NAPA VALLEY

COMPOSITION: CABERNET SAUVIGNON 95%, MERLOT 5%
WINEMAKING: EACH LOT WAS PUNCHED CAP FERMENTED IN
ONE-TON T-BINS BY HAND. THEN BARRELED DOWN FOR 40
MONTHS AGING IN FRENCH OAK. VERY UNIQUE IN TODAY’S
WORLD. THE BLENDS ARE MADE FROM THE INDIVIDUAL LOTS
FROM THAT POINT A MONTH PRIOR TO BOTTLING.
TASTING NOTES: BLACK CHERRY AND A STONY MINERALITY
AROMATICS JUMP UP FRONT. IN THE MOUTH, BLACK CURRANTS
AND CRANBERRIES, RIPE MOUTH-WATERING TANNINS ARE
ACCENTED BY A VERY PALATE PLEASING SPICINESS. BRIGHTLY
BALANCED, YET RICHLY TEXTURED AND COMPLEX WITH A
LONG SATISFYING FINISH.

THIS IS THE THIRD MC SIGNATURE CABERNET SAUVIGNON.
IT IS A SPECIAL DESIGNATION FOR WINE GIVEN MORE AGING
TIME TO BETTER EXPRESS ITS DYNAMIC CHARACTERISTICS. IT
INCLUDES SOME OF THE EXTREMELY RARE SECRET CLONE
CABERNET IN THIS BLEND.
