Backstage - Encore Vineyard - Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve 2013
Tasting notes
The result is soft, elegant, dark fruit flavors with moderate tannins. The
wine showcases aromas of black currant, and violet. Wonderfully balanced
and structured to improve over the next 7-10 years. There are also
interesting flavors of blackberry and black cherry, exciting the palate. The
finish is rich and lasting.

Backstage Reserve
Our first vintage of Backstage Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon from or Encore
Vineyard (Napa Valley) located in Rutherford, Napa Valley - one of the
world's finest growing areas for Cabernet Sauvignon Grapes. The 2013
growing season in Napa Valley was ideal. The grapes for our Backstage
Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon were hand picked at just 1.0 tons per acre at
optimal ripeness. Picking was done on October 16th, and brought in to the
winery in the late morning. 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 34 months in French oak barrels
(Quercus Petraea), to make the wine fully balanced and full of flavors.
