Description
Coup de Foudre, or ‘love at first sight,’ describes what it’s like to be swept off ones feet or to behold someone or something incredible. For us, it’s the 2014 ‘Lightning Bolt’, a 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, masterfully crafted wine by winemaker Kent Jarman. This rare wine will tantalize the palate: elegant yet bold, the grapes were carefully selected from the top lots of Cabernet Sauvignon from our best vineyard blocks in Calistoga. The wine’s color is a dense ruby red from a five-day cold soak and an extended fermentation soak helped to integrate very fine, silky round tannins. This Premiere Napa Valley wine was aged for 20 months in Taransaud medium toast, Sylvain medium-plus toast and Orion medium toast oak barrels
