WINE DESCRIPTION
Lenz Winery's Old Vines Cabernet Sauvignon is a premium wine that showcases the best of Long Island's North Fork region. The grapes are sourced from the oldest vines in the vineyard, which are carefully tended to produce low yields of intensely flavored fruit. The winemaking process is meticulous, with hand-harvesting, gentle pressing, and aging in French oak barrels for 18 months. The resulting wine is full-bodied and complex, with rich flavors of black currant, blackberry, and dark chocolate. The tannins are firm but well-integrated, providing structure and balance to the wine. This is a wine that will age gracefully for many years to come, making it a great investment for any wine collector.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This Lenz Winery Old Vines Cabernet Sauvignon is a full-bodied and surprisingly well-balanced red.On the nose, it has aromas of ripe blackberry, plum and cassis, with hints of tobacco, toasted oak and cocoa powder. The palate is rich and juicy, with intense flavors of dark fruit, licorice and an undercurrent of spicy pepper. The tannins are firm yet supple, and the finish is long and lingering. Enjoy with a grilled steak or hearty stew.
