Burly 2019 Sciandri Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon
$ 7999
Winemaker Notes
The Sciandri family has a special place in Hank McCrorie's heart, and they happen to own some absolutely beautiful Cabernet in Coombsville. This is Burly's third vintage of Sciandri Cabernet.
Aromas of dark plum, cassis and anise meld seamlessly with savory dried herbs. The mouth transforms into raspberry sweetness and a mineral note. This palate coating wine has a great toasted oak long finish. Wonderful now, this wine will however benefit from further bottle ageing reaching its peak in 3 to 6 years but drinkable for 10 years.
The Cabernet Grapes came from The Sciandri Vineyard in the Coombsville area just east of the city of Napa. The 4 acre vineyard, planted with clone 337 has a western exposure that stays cool thru influences of the San Pablo Bay. This allows for long hang time that usually harvests at the end of October. The soil is well drained rocky hillside, primarily Hambright-Rock outcrop complex and Coombs gravelly loam.
