2023 Tooth & Nail Cabernet Sauvignon (Squad Series), Paso Robles
Tasting Notes
The 2023 Cabernet Sauvignon bursts from the glass with aromas of plum, black cherry, sandalwood and tobacco leaf. A luscious mouthfeel delivers velvety flavors of black fruits, boysenberry, crème de cassis, mocha and vanilla with hints of gravelly stone. Plump tannins unfold into a soft, enveloping finish.
Winemaking
The grapes were harvested over a period from September through October 2023. After destemming the clusters, Director of Winemaking Jeremy Leffert and his team fermented the fruit in a combination of 10-ton stainless steel tanks, four-ton concrete fermenters and large oak tanks. After seven to 10 days of warm extraction, the new wine was pressed off the skins and into stainless steel tanks to finish fermentation, a maneuver designed to maintain a pure tannin profile while avoiding any uptake of phenolic astringency. After fermentation, the individual lots were aged in French oak barrels (25% new oak) for 10 months prior to final blending with small complements of Petit Verdot and Malbec to flesh out the mouthfeel. The wine was bottled unfined and unfiltered. The resulting wine has the verve, tenacity and vibrancy that you have come to love and expect from Paso Robles Cabernet Sauvignon.

We need Rats!
Aren’t y’all so fancy with your bottles. I think I forgot my monocle.
@goldnectar SideDeal is pretty high on their horse as well, no? Thinking we’re gonna not drink out of red cups….
Shipped in refrigerated trucks… how far? To my house? Doubt it.
You want me to spend how much on mystery wine? The last time I got wine on meh I ended up dumping most of it and I’m not the least bit picky.
