Description
This wine started out as an experiment of studying what happens when our wine is aged for five years or longer in new French Oak. We learned a lot from these years of experiments about alcohols, acidity levels, changes in pH, etc. We combined our “experiments” as a lark to see what would happen. Hence, IMPROMP22 is our fourth offering combining three vintages into one bottle. We are excited with the outcome of a big, elegant, Cabernet Sauvignon from our Estate vineyards. The nuance of each vintage are integrated smoothly together. This is a good conversation piece because you really can’t pick out a particular vintage but can enjoy all the flavors each vintage has to offer. This wine is deep in color and texture rounded out with flavors of chocolate, anise, mulberry, blackberry and char. We expect long aging will improve its life. Enjoy!
