Clos Pegase

Hommage Cabernet Sauvignon 750mL

Layer upon layer of complex aromas, from brooding dark fruits to subtle aromas of the forest cedar. On the palate, dark fruits open up to cassis focused flavors, a touch of cocoa alongside espresso beans. The tannins are powerful and persistent balancing the wine's graceful natural acidity and texture.
Fruit from all of our Estate vineyards was harvested in the cool of the night, giving the opportunity to achieve a natural prolonged cold soak period prior to the onset of fermentation; this practice gently extracts color and tannins from the grape skins during fermentation while eliminating harsher seed tannin extraction into the new wine. Extended maceration on the skins following primary fermentation further refined the ripe tannins and helped to stabilize color. After pressing, malolactic conversion occurred in barrel. The final blend was assembled in tank in late May of 2017 ahead of its bottling in early June of that year.
