Provenance Vineyards Deadeye Cabernet Sauvignon

A Cabernet Sauvignon from Provenance Vineyards, grown in the Estrella District of Paso Robles, where hot days and cool nights bring ripeness while keeping acidity high. The grapes were harvested at night to keep them cool and preserve natural acidity. The wine was cold soaked for colour and fermented in stainless steel. Malolactic fermentation took place in a mix of 20% toast and neutral American oak barrels. The nose has currant, black liquorice and hints of coffee. The palate is sweet-fruited, with anise, peppercorn and a touch of tobacco. A plush mid-palate carries textured minerality and bright acidity.
