1999 Grand Archer
Cabernet Sauvignon Region/Origin: Sonoma Valley Residual Sugar: Dry Total Acid: .55 gm/100ml Alcohol: 14.0% Final pH: 3.5 Blend: 97% Cabernet Sauvignon, 3% Merlot Winemaker's NotesDeep, ruby red in color, our Cabernet Sauvignon presents an up-front aromas of luscious, sweet, forward black fruit. This aromatic experience is enhanced by notes of cedar box and oak. On the palate, layers of rich, deeply concentrated, ripe blackberry, black cherry, plum and cassis are followed by a lingering finish with notes of toffee and vanilla in the background. Soft, supple tannins were achieved through the gentle handling of the fruit throughout fermentation and pressing. The balance of fruit and tannins lend ageability and approachability to this delicious wine. VineyardThe majority of Arrowood Grand Archer 1999 Cabernet Sauvignon is produced from grapes grown in the northern Alexander Valley. Much of this area is composed of gently rolling hills and broad, open valleysall ideally suited to the growing of exceptional Cabernet Sauvignon. Viticultural Areas: Alexander Valley; Russian River Valley, Sonoma Valley Chef's Suggestions This Cabernet Sauvignon can be enjoyed on its own, or with any grilled steak. You can also try it with a nice dry Jack or Cambazola cheese. |
