Cabernet Sauvignon Sonoma Reserve

Frei Brothers Cabernet Sauvignon Sonoma Reserve opens with aromas of cassis and crushed berries. On the palate flavors of blackberry raspberry cedar and tobacco are framed by firm velvety tannins and a long elegant finish. The grapes for this Cabernet Sauvignon were gently destemmed but not crushed leaving a significant portion of whole berries for fermentation. A full eight to ten days of contact between the grapes and the skins allowed us to extract intense color and flavor before fermentation. After primary fermentation the wine completed malolactic fermentation to soften the acid structure and add complexity.
