WINE DESCRIPTION
Tate Cabernet Sauvignon is a red wine produced by Tate Winery, in the Napa Valley region of California. The wine is made exclusively from a single parcel of a vineyard at the top of Mount Veeder known as the Bacchus plot. The steep aspect and poor soils result in very small grapes that ripen late in the season. The winemaking process involves multiple daily punch-downs to maximize structure and long aging in a high proportion of small, new, French oak barrels for sweet spice complexity. Overall, this is a rich and complex wine with a deep ruby color and aromas of blackberry, cassis, and vanilla. The wine is full-bodied and well-structured, with firm tannins and a long finish. It is a perfect choice for those looking for the classic style of Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon.
