2013 Lauren Ashton Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon
Tasting Note:November 20, 2016
Medium to deep ruby red. Dark spices (cinnamon and cloves) on the attack of the nose with dark berries and plums. Moderate tannins (6.5/10) with balanced acidity and medium plus body. Seems a little older than a 2013. Lots of dark cherries, woody notes, savory characteristics and light minerality in the long finish.
Made of 100% Cabernet Sauvignon from the Quintessence and Ambassador Vineyards in the Red Mountain AVA. Around 50% of the fruit is whole berry and uncrushed, before being lightly pressed. Aged for 28 months in French oak. Only 350 cases produced.
