Horse Heaven Hills
2005 Canoe Ridge Estate Cabernet Sauvignon
The Canoe Ridge Estate Cabernet delivers black cherry fruit aromas and flavors with leather notes and dusty tannins on the finish. The 2005 bottling offers a slightly richer and more concentrated feel than previous vintages due to the intense ripeness of the vintage and patience of the winemaking team to let the grapes hang out for softer, riper tannins. Those slightly “dusty Tuscan” tannins are a great match with Italian foods.”

WINE ANALYSIS
Blend:
97% Cabernet Sauvignon, 3% Merlot
Aging:
Aged for 22 months in French and American oak, but we are careful to choose more delicate, spicy barrels such as Boutes, Ermitage and Seguin Moreau.
Alcohol:
14%
TA:
0.52 g/100 ml
F:
Daily gentle pumpovers were used to extract optimal flavor and color and minimize harsh tannins. The pumpovers can vary by block, tank and day of fermentation. Every ferment is tasted every day to evaluate the evolution of the tannins, modify extraction techniques and find the right moment to drain the wine off of its skins.
