Entice Cuvee 2012

The Cabernet Sauvignon component shows lovely fruit immediately evident on entry with wonderful textures, massive yet soft and luscious, but backed up by supple tannins and correct acidity giving this wine perfect balance. The texture is fresh with vigorous style and a silky finish.

A delightful, well-bred wine with a paradoxically enticing manner of managing strong peppery spices in foods drawing out the true essence of the primary food flavor.

A long and moderate growing season with no heat waves or heavy rain produced a crop much larger than expected while our routine crop size management protocols allowed our fruit to ripen evenly and slowly producing excellent fruit maturity and quality across the board.

By the time more than an inch of rain finally hit in late October our grapes were already picked and on their way to making an excellent batch of wines.
