WINE DESCRIPTION

Thread Count Cabernet Sauvignon is a premium wine hailing from the Napa Valley. The grapes were harvested early in the morning so the fruit would arrive at the winery while still cool to preserve the vineyard-fresh flavors. After de-stemming the berries, the fruit was cryo-extracted and then cold-soaked to soften the skins and allow for ideal extraction. During fermentation in a combination of closed and open-top stainless-steel fermenters, punch-downs and pump-overs were preformed to extract color, tannins, keeping temperatures low to build mouthfeel and maximize flavors. Finally, the wines are aged in 50% new French oak for between 12-16 months. After the wine underwent malolactic fermentation, it was racked every 6 months before the final blend was complete. The resulting wine is a bold and complex Cabernet Sauvignon with a rich and full-bodied style, showcasing notes of dark fruit, spice, and oak.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

Thread Count Cabernet Sauvignon has a deep ruby appearance.The nose is redolent of rich notes of chocolate, black currant, ripe blackberry, and hints of cedar and leather. The palate is full-bodied, exploding with heady flavors of boysenberry jam, black cherry pie filling, dark currant, and cocoa nibs. Full yet elegant on the palate, with strong acidity and a long, smooth finish accompanied by velvety tannins.
