Tasting Notes For Thurlow Cellars Copperhead Napa Cabernet Sauvignon 2021
Our Copperhead Cabernet Sauvignon is made from grapes grown on thirty-five year old vines. This family-owned site is most well known for its iconic quality for over four decades.
Only 10 barrels of this Cabernet Sauvignon were produced.
95% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Petite Verdot.
A small family-owned vineyard, originally planted in 1986. 50% of the vines are 35 years of age. The age of the vines result in yields that rarely reach 1.8 tons per acre and the soils are unusually rocky and sparse.
This voluptuous, highly polished Cabernet shows remarkable composure having an amazingly smooth palate for such a concentrated wine. The pleasant nose teases with notes of baked bread and sweet pipe tobacco with a dense core of dark berry fruit mixed with an ethereal aroma similar to warm blackberry pie spiced with cinnamon and nutmeg.
