Petrified Forest 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon
Vintage: 2016
Varietal: Cabernet Sauvignon
Vineyard: Totem Ridge - Estate Grown
AVA: Knight's Valley, Sonoma County
Review:
“From the pastoral winegrowing region of Knights Valley in eastern Sonoma County, this deep, rich and thought-provoking wine is made with Cabernet Sauvignon grapes grown on the volcanic soils at the 800-foot plateau of the Totem Ridge, a small vineyard developed by the Piters family in 1990. To enliven the senses, the dense dark fruit aromas are layered with subtle hints of chocolate-dipped espresso beans, caramel, vanilla, savory herbs, and cedar. As the fruit-driven fabric of dark cherry, plum and black raspberry provide the core flavors on the palate, the complexity builds with additional hints of fresh sage, allspice, and roasted walnuts. To complement this tasting experience, the deep, rich and robust flavors are balanced with smooth tannins and a note of dark chocolate truffle that lingers on the long rewarding finish. To showcase the pure hillside character of this wine, decant before serving or age for 10-15 years.
Food Pairings: Hard cheeses, eggplant parmesan, grilled lamb kabobs, Peking duck, Ribeye steaks, beef wellington, hearty stews.”
