Ascension Cellars 2013 Testament Bordeaux Blend

$86

Our bold, fathomless, Bordeaux-inspired blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot, Merlot, Malbec and Cab Franc is the collective soul of the vineyard. Barrel fermented and hand-racked for thirty months in French oak barrels. Testament has an inky dark hue and it’s intense nose heralds black and red currant, lavender, cola and black cherry followed by mocha-laced layered flavors of dark chocolate, cassis and baking spice in every glass.

Testament compliments medium to sharp cheddar cheeses, braised short ribs, grilled steaks, prime rib, filet mignon, beef bourguignon, lamb and hearty stews.

V. Vineyards 2011 Cabernet Sauvignon

$78

The 2011 Cabernet Sauvignon is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, 100% barrel fermented and barrel aged for 29 months in 80% new French Oak. A variety of cooperages were featured including Tonnellerie Ermitage, Taransaud, Tonnellerie Vicard, Tonnellerie Baron and others. The alcohol content is 14.3%.

The V. Vineyards 2011 Cabernet Sauvignon is a deep dark cranberry with hints of velvety red and purple.  On the nose is an explosion of fruit like strawberries, cassis with touches of spices like basil, tarragon, tomato sauce lingering on vanilla, cherry and pumpkin bread.  On the palate, this wine has a soft velvety entrance evolving on tannins with soft dense fruit like black cherries, boysenberries lingering on plums, lavender and lilac.

Enjoy.
