Cole Cellars - Cabernet Sauvignon 2022 | Monsieur Touton Selection

Food Pairing

Pair with grilled meats and stews (beef, pork, or lamb ) cow's milk cheese and chocolate desserts.

Tasting notes

We embraced the structure up front when making this wine because we wanted a strong phenolic profile to bind with and stabilize the tannin. Baking spices (clove and cinnamon) with a kiss of oak. Ripe black fruit on the palate, black currant and blackberry. A hint of vanilla and smooth tannins on the plush finish.

Ageing

The grapes are fermented on grape skins in open top fermenters, pressed and coaxed to completion. This wine was aged with a variety of mixed American and French Oak and finally blended to the popular product you are now enjoying.

Terroir

The right soil, the right climate, the right people. This elegant Cabernet Sauvignon is produced from grapes sourced from California's best growing regions. Warm days and cool evening breezes create a uniquely Mediterranean climate perfectly suited to cultivating premium grapes. These vineyards are meticulously managed by multi-generational family grape growers. They farm with a commitment to sustainable and environmentally friendly agricultural practices, which results in a wine that is both complex and very food friendly

Vinification

After harvest the grapes were destemmed and crushed into temperature controlled stainless steel tanks for fermentation. To add a velvety complexity the wine was then aged in a combination of new and used oak barrels before resting in bottle for several months before release.
