Vintage Wine Name Cooper's Reed Cabernet Sauvignon - North Coast 2021 Vintage 2021 Wine Description The Brendel Cooper’s Reed Cabernet Sauvignon is a fresh and vibrant take on Napa Valley’s famed grape varietal. Harvested under moonlight, the fruit is crushed at cool temperatures and then thoughtfully monitored throughout fermentation. After a 7-10 day fermentation, the wine is gently pressed to oak casks where it is allowed to mature for 9 months prior to bottling. Fruit is sourced from prized vineyards in Napa and Sonoma, giving the wine its mouthwatering structure, and elevage in upright oak casks preserves the bright red and black fruit characteristics. Region Napa Appellation North Coast Varietal Composition 94% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Petite Sirah, 1% Merlot Vineyard Details In the spirit of exploring the best organically farmed vineyards in northern California, fruit is sourced from legendary sites such as Monterosso on Moon Mountain AVA, Bale Lane in Calistoga, and Heitz Cellar owned vineyards in Rutherford, Oak Knoll and St. Helena. The wine remains majority Napa Valley sourced. Additional sourcing comes from Dry Creek Valley, Pine Mountain-Cloverdale and Sonoma Valley. Tasting notes A fresh take on a crowd pleasing classic. This pure expression of Cabernet Sauvignon evolves with each sip and gracefully unfolds on the palate. A slightly bashful beginning leads to an exuberant end. Having just one glass will require some serious restraint. Pairing notes Pairs with: Full Moons. Long nights. Poker.
