Backstage - Cabernet Sauvignon - Napa Valley 2013
Tasting notes
The result is deep, rich, intense flavors of ripe blackberries, and aromas of
chocolate perfume. Wonderfully balanced tannins melt on your tongue
from oak barrel aging (100% new oak). There are also interesting flavors of
dark fruit and coffee bean, exciting the palate. The finish is simultaneously
smooth and rich – at the same time. Enjoy this luxurious wine.

Backstage
Our second vintage of Backstage Cabernet Sauvignon from or Oakville
(Napa) vineyard – located in notably one of the world’s finest growing areas
for this varietal. The 2013 growing season in Napa Valley was ideal – at
least for grapes, that is. The grapes for our Backstage Cabernet Sauvignon
were hand picked at 1.5 tons per acre (total of 7.5 tons) at optimal
ripeness. Picking was done on Thursday, October 7th, and brought in to the
winery in the early afternoon. The grape bunches were then hand-sorted
before being run through our crusher/destemmer. After a 16 day
maceration period, the wine was aged for 24 months in French oak barrels
(Quercus Petraea).
