Product Description

Overview

Winery: Arns Winery

100% Cabernet Sauvignon -big rich up front with elevated flavors of chocolate, anise, black cherries, sumac, violets.
High acids seen in this wine during its barrel aging process have come into balance with some bottle age. A highly complex wine from a smaller crop reflects the characteristics of Arns Estate. High tones of black/red hues smothered in chocolate, red bing cherries, anise, briar, menthol, mint, sumac and smoke are very reflective of this prominent Vintage.

Arns 2007 Vintage was a different sort of growing year when comparing the past ten years. Total rainfall was only 13" but it seemed to come at the right moment. Early heat spikes and a strong, distinct ripening pattern gave our rocky hillside better than average fruit. We harvested earlier than normal finishing the end of September, 2007. We are lucky to be able to harvest block x block when our fruit is ready. A big chocolate wine, with wild cherries, lavender, cassis, cinnamon, ginger, violets and tightly wound, as all of Arns' Cabernets are at this stage of development.
