Item Description

"Alexander Valley has a longstanding tradition of Cabernet. It grows well here because of the climate – warm days and cool nights. We age our Cabernet in oak for 22 months in our wine caves, carefully monitoring the oak’s integration into the wine. Sweet vanilla and toast are classic descriptors of well-integrated oak. Bottled two years after its harvest, we age our Cabernet for an additional 2½ years, releasing it in February, in its fifth year.

When we release the Cabernet, the bouquet is fruit-dominated, often with notes of blackberries, cassis and cherries, and hints of dark chocolate, sweet vanilla and mint. The wine has all of the components to develop well.  As it ages, the winemaking techniques come to the forefront and its youthful fruitiness dissipates. Older wines begin to have notes of violets, cigar box, briars and carpaccio; they are silky, velvety, supple in the mouth, less fruity. When enjoying older wines, we are reminded of that year’s events – it’s not just about what’s in the glass but also the memories of that time." -- HafnerVineyard.com

This boxed Vertical Collection from Hafner Vineyard includes four vintages of Cabernet Sauvignon: 2003, 2005, 2007 & 2009.
