2012 Mast Ranch Cabernet Sauvignon
2012 Mast Ranch Cabernet Sauvignon
Description
Jack Mast was the third generation of his family to own and carefully tend the Mast Ranch; in his whole adult life, Jack spent only one night away from his beloved farmstead. Situated on the western side of the Yountville Appellation, the alluvial bench land of the Mayacamas Mountains imparts traits unique to this acclaimed terroir: gravelly soil interspersed with sand, loam, and clay; hillside irrigation, and cool bay winds that provide perfect temperate balance for Cabernet Sauvignon vines. A staff favorite for its structured earthiness, we raise a toast to Paul Hobbs and Julian Gonzalez for another world class Cabernet of exceptional finesse.
Tasting Notes
A rich sanguine color introduces a bouquet of cherry jam, charred cedar wood, and underlining tones of mint. Full-bodied with low acidity and leathery tannins are softened by an essence of chocolate and roasted coffee. A true amaranth of wine, it will never fade.| Vintage | 2012 |
