Winemaker's Comments
One of the most celebrated vineyards on Red Mountain, Klipsun was named “One of the Top 25 Vineyards in the World” by Wine & Spirits Magazine in 2003. Located on the southwest slope of Red Mountain, its dry and warm environment is ideal for Bordeaux varietals. Originally planted in 1984, the vineyard now includes more than 120 acres of vines.
Tasting Notes
Made with fruit from distinguished old blocks of the acclaimed Klipsun Vineyard, this robust structured Cabernet Sauvignon-Merlot blend shows cigar box aromatics that build into rich flavors of ripe blackberry, dark chocolate, coffee, and leather. A fine-grained tannin structure balances a strong finish that showcases a wine that will continue to age beautifully in the bottle.
