Emerson Brown
Cabernet Sauvignon
Oakville
5 cases produced
Highlights
- 100% single-vineyard Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon from the eastern bench
- Biodynamically farmed; fruit hand-harvested and optically sorted; native fermentation in a gravity-flow facility
- Aged for 18 months in 22mm thin-stave, tight-grain French oak barrels
- Carefully selected single barrel that demonstrates the purity of this special site
Description
Pretty, yet powerful. Keith Emerson and Brian Brown chose a single barrel that showed intense focus and exemplified both the site and vintage from which it was born. III Michaels Esatate, now known as Accendo, is located on the eastern bench of Oakville. Keith and Brian love this site because it has great exposure but also cool, heavy soils that help the vines retain natural acidity while letting the fruit fully ripen into deep, dark, intense flavors.
Wine Facts
