2013 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon Kiona Vineyards TASTING NOTES Showcasing a great depth of complexity on the nose, this Cabernet Sauvignon has dense aromatics of black currant, blackberry, and fennel root along with a nice touch of spice and earthiness. The complex flavors feature dark dense layers of blackberry, black currants, tobacco leaf alongside a touch of smoky molasses and oak that is balanced with elegant acidity. The dark fruits carry the structure alongside fine dusty texture that lingers into a long finish with firm, but refined tannins. BLEND/VINEYARD INFO 100% Cabernet Sauvignon 53% North Block Kiona Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon, Red Mountain 47% Block 7 Kiona Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon, Red Mountain WINEMAKER’S NOTES We are very excited about our 2nd release of the Kiona Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon. The blend is made up of two different blocks of the vineyard site. 53% of the blend is the North Block, which is the some of the oldest plantings on Red Mountain. 47% is Block 7, which is located farther up the slope at a bit of a higher elevation with younger vines. Each block of the vineyard site provided us with distinctive aromas and flavors and we are really pleased with complexity of the final blend. We harvested both blocks in late September and used the pump-under fermentation method with PDM yeast. 100% Malolactic Fermentation was completed in 59-gallon French Oak barrels. The wine aged for 31 months in 63% new French Oak barrels. TECHNICAL DATA Release Date: Sept 8, 2016 Alcohol: 14% Residual Sugar: Dry Acidity: 0.627 pH 3.79 Cases: 819
