Meyer Family Cellars Spitfire Cabernet Sauvignon is a powerful, rich oaked wine from Oakville in Napa Valley, California. The estate-grown fruit was hand-picked, sorted, de-stemmed and crushed into stainless steel tanks to begin fermentation. After completing the alcoholic fermentation, the wine was racked off to barrel to mature for around 22 months in a combination of new and neutral American oak. This lengthy elevage served to round out the mouthfeel and enhance the ripe black fruit notes with sweet spice and vanilla.
