Goldschmidt Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon 2009 (75cl)

Goldschmidt Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon 2009 is a Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon from the Oakville appellation, vintage 2009, in a 750ml bottle. Made by Nick Goldschmidt from the Game Ranch vineyard, it is a single-vineyard Cabernet with ripe black fruit, fine tannin and cedar notes. The 2009 vintage was a long, moderate growing season. The wine was fermented in small sets and aged in French oak barrels, and at this age the tannins have softened with secondary notes of tobacco, cedar and dried fruit. Aroma: blackcurrant, black cherry and dried plum, with cedar, cigar box, graphite, dried herbs and cocoa. Palate: full-bodied and layered, with cassis, dark cherry, tobacco leaf, leather and mocha, fully resolved silky tannins and fresh acidity. Finish: long and savoury, with dark fruit, cedar and fine mineral grip fading into sweet oak and dried herbs.
