Description
2016 IMMORTAL ESTATE SLOPE CABERNET SAUVIGNON, SPRING MOUNTAIN
Vines grown on steep slopes can experience better airflow, water drainage, and more sunlight, combining to produce fully-developed and complexly flavored grapes. Immortal Estate is a perfect example and has more than 20 separate blocks with an elevation range of 1200-1700 feet, near Pride Mountain Vineyards… Former Opus One Winemaker Tim Milos selected harvest dates for each block based on taste, and the team meticulously sorted the grapes at the winery. They fermented the juice on the grape skins for up to 50 days, extracting depth, structure, and deep color. They then aged the wine for 28 months in French oak, and now with several years in the bottle, it’s rocking.
95JD | 95 Points From Jeb Dunnuck:
“Starting with the 2016 Slope, this beauty is all Cabernet Sauvignon that saw 28 months in 75% new French oak. Dense purple-hued with a rocking bouquet of blackcurrants, sagebrush, sappy green herbs, lead pencil, and tobacco, it hits the palate with a mammoth-sized personality that carries lots of tannins, a plush, sexy texture, no hard edges, and a great finish.” JEB DUNNUCK 95 POINTS
