2016 Ten10, Cabernet Sauvignon
2016 Ten10, Cabernet Sauvignon
Tasting Notes
A deep set and richly dazzling garnet color, the 2016 Ten10 Cabernet Sauvignon remains true to the unflinching and potent character of the special vineyard from which it was sourced. Possessing a striking personality replete with dark fruit, dark chocolate, wet stone, black tea, leather and hints of cinnamon, giving time in the glass allows for the expansively layered nose to unveil. On the palate, notes of blackberry, blueberry, sweet oak and graphite dance on your tongue. Fabulously concentrated, yet elegant with its presence, this wine is a generous flavor medley expertly contained by exquisite and supple tannins with an energy that will age for years to come.Vineyard Designation
Ten10Vineyard Notes
Sourced from fruit farmed just at the base of Howell Mountain and entirely from our Fleury Estate owned and farmed vineyard located in the Saint Helena AVA. The south-westerly exposure of this Saint Helena property provides for beautiful sun; which just kisses the clusters in the morning and allows for needed shade in the afternoon. Planted at an elevation of 1,010 (Ten10) feet above sea level, on the east side of the valley and on a gentle slope, this 100% Cabernet Sauvignon planted vineyard develops into a classic style with supple tannings and deep, powerful fruit. This vineyard is truly a hidden gem.Production Notes
