Ovene Cabernet Sauvingnon 2005

This rich and spicy Cabernet Sauvignon is a blend of a number of different clones of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. The grapes where harvested from San Antonio Appellation, which lies within the foothills that lead up to the Santa Lucia Mountains. The different clones, clone 4, 337 where blended together with the Cabernet Franc after fermentation in small open top fermenters. This wine was then barrel aged for over 24 months in French and American oak barrels. This extended period in barrels allowed the individual characteristics to age in harmony.
