Three years of French oak has crafted a well-structured, full-bodied Cabernet that is both soft and lush on the palate, displaying robust black cherry and silky blueberry with a complex cohort of cinnamon, clove, tobacco and brown sugar. As with many past vintages, the Oakville site continues to produce age-worthy Cabernet Sauvignon, though we believe the 2019 is an abundantly drinkable wine at this early stage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVineyard Designation\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBonny's Vineyard\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVineyard Notes\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2019 was fashionably late to the party. We had late rain in the Spring which saturated the soils and slowed bud-break. Vigorous shoot growth early in the Summer initially suggested we would get back on schedule, but we settled in for a long, cool summer. The Fall stayed remarkably dry, however, and all the grapes were picked and even fermented before the first storms. 2019 saw some of the longest hang-times in memory. That extra time on the vine helped develop grapes bursting with flavor and translated to juicy, fruit-forward Cabernet Sauvignon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWinemaker Notes\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Cabernet fruit was hand-picked into macro bins, sorted, de-stemmed and crushed into tank and cold soaked for 24 hours before being inoculated. Once dry, the wine was racked to barrel and inoculated for malolactic fermentation. It was racked again at the conclusion of secondary fermentation and twice more before bottling. Though it was filtered, owing to its time in barrel, fining was not necessary.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePairings\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSteak, steak, and more steak! ...Did we mention steak?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRatings\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e97 points ~ Wine Enthusiast, Cellar Selection\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAwards\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlatinum Award ~ Boston Wine Competition\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDownload Wine Notes\u003cbr\u003eVintage 2019\u003cbr\u003eWine Style Red Wine\u003cbr\u003eVarietal Cabernet Sauvignon\u003cbr\u003eVarietal Composition 100% Cabernet Sauvignon\u003cbr\u003eAppellation Oakville\u003cbr\u003eHarvest Date October 4th, 2019\u003cbr\u003eAcid 6.1g\/L\u003cbr\u003ePH 3.69\u003cbr\u003eBarrel Aging 36 months 100% New French Oak\u003cbr\u003eBottling Date July 15th, 2022\u003cbr\u003eAlcohol % 14.8\u003cbr\u003eSize 750 ml\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Meyer Family Cellars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44044382798048,"sku":"106094","price":129.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0649\/9713\/0464\/files\/meyer-family-cellars-le-bon-bon_1.jpg?v=1686148633","url":"https:\/\/www.mywineconnection.com\/products\/meyer-family-cellars-le-bon-bon-2016-750ml","provider":"My Wine Connection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
