Nose
Spicy black currant with oak notes in the nose.
Palate
Bright and balanced in the
mouth. Pomegranate, currants, and berries provides an exotic pure fruit
center with a touch of pepper framed by the oak. Clean and crisp it's
finished with a youthful tartness.
Growing Conditions
A dynamic more hedonistic Cabernet Sauvignon. This wine is made
from the mysterious Secret Clone from its original Pope Valley vineyard.
A very rare and highly appreciated clone since its debut in its first vintage
of 2000. This is only the third vintage of this unique wine under PureCru
Winery and its original winemaker Mitch Cosentino (who has made and
bottled 11 total vintages to date under different wineries).
Winemaking
Each lot was punched cap fermented by hand.
Aging
Barrel aged for 40
months in selected French Oak barrels (67% new).
