Contour Cabernet Sauvignon California 2020
The vineyards for Contour Cabernet Sauvignon are nestled between two coastal mountain ranges in the warmer reaches of northern California. Dense fruit profile of blackberry and plum with spice notes and a supple tannin structure.
Tasting Notes
Contour Cabernet is characterized by a dense fruit profile of blackberry and plum with savory spice and anise notes on the nose. The palate expresses great depth with brambly and dark compote flavors and a firm, robust texture.
About This Vintage
For the inaugural release of Contour Cabernet, we have selected the best fruit from vineyards nestled between the Vaca and Howell Mountains on the backside of Napa, the perfect location for slow-ripening cabernet.
Our cabernet grapes were hand-picked in the early morning during mid-October before being sorted, destemmed, and crushed in closed-top tanks for fermentation at 80 degrees, resulting in optimal fruit extraction.
The wine was racked in barrel for malolactic and aged for ten months in a diverse barrel regimen that includes new (20%), second use (30%) and neutral (50%) French oak from Cavin, Taransaud, François Frères and Remond cooperages.
Contour Wines
Contour Wines represent our shared passion for crafting exceptional wines that overdeliver in every way. Meticulously blended using the best grapes from our favorite appellations throughout California, Contour is a shining example of what exceptional California wines can be at price points we can all appreciate.
Our carefully selected range of vineyards stretch along the Pacific coastline, defined by picturesque terraces and perfect growing conditions. Each is uniquely characterized by rolling hillsides with definitive contours, inspiring our wine’s name. Each of the wines in our portfolio are pure expressions of the varietals we work with, free of any blenders to maintain the integrity of the noble grapes we adore.
