The two days of unseasonal heat around September 5 initiated \u003cbr\u003ea flurry of activity in the vineyard to pick our Estate grapes within a couple days \u003cbr\u003ewhile our Napa Valley Cabernet grapes enjoyed another two weeks on the vine \u003cbr\u003eallowing for a long and leisurely harvest. Predictably, the Napa Valley blend is a \u003cbr\u003ebrighter, vibrant rendition compared to the deeper, darker, Estate bottlings.  \u003cbr\u003eFollowing a seven-day fermentation, the wine was transferred to barrels before \u003cbr\u003einitiating the malolactic fermentation; keeping the wine “dirty” when young greatly \u003cbr\u003eincreases the impression of roundness and smoothness in the finished wine. The \u003cbr\u003e2022 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon was racked four times in the first year of \u003cbr\u003eaging to encourage aromatic and tannin development. It was aged a total of 18 \u003cbr\u003emonths in a blend of French and American oak barrels.    \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe wine is brimming with fruit aromas and flavors biased to the black fruit end of \u003cbr\u003ethe Cabernet spectrum: plums, blackberry, and black currant. Rich and full-bodied \u003cbr\u003eon the palate, this Cabernet drinks well on release but will soften and develop with \u003cbr\u003eadditional age. For those who seek youthful fresh Cabernet fruit aromas and a more \u003cbr\u003estructured wine, drink it from 2025 through 2029. If you prefer the less fruity, more \u003cbr\u003edeveloped bottle bouquet aromas and a softer, more velvety wine on the palate, \u003cbr\u003edrink it from 2030-2040. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Buehler","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42975575802080,"sku":"101405","price":47.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0649\/9713\/0464\/products\/buehler-cabernet-sauvignon-napa-valley.jpg?v=1663883556","url":"https:\/\/www.mywineconnection.com\/products\/buehler-cabernet-sauvignon-napa-valley-2018-750ml","provider":"My Wine Connection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
