Notes from the Winemaker:

VINEYARDS
The vineyards selected for the Anthonij Rupert wines are chosen from vineyards planted on very specific sites and soil types. The canopies of each block and the final yield of each site was managed precisely to express the character of the different varietal and location.

VINIFICATION
Grapes are picked by hand, placed into small lug boxes and transported to the cellar in a cool truck. In the cellar, the whole berries are manually double sorted and then gravity fed into fermentors. Each batch is cold soaked for a few days and then slowly brought up in temperature, fermentation takes place naturally. The wines were aged for 18 to 24 months in 100% new French oak, bottled unfiltered and bottle aged for a year.


What Does It Taste Like?

The Cabernet Sauvignon is a dense and intense, yet elegant wine with dark berried fruit, cassis, cigar box and cedar wood.



Ratings & Reviews

92 Points - Wine Spectator Magazine:
"A big, broad-shouldered Cabernet, with lots of toast and mocha leading the way for dark plum, currant paste, fig, graphite and coca notes. The long, smoky, fleshy finish lets the toast influence take over. Drink now through 2013. 448 cases made. " –JM (5/31/2008)
