The Cabernet fruit for our 2009 Deep Sea Cabernet Sauvignon came from a number of the finest, well regarded vineyards within Napa AVA’s of Rutherford, Atlas Peak and Pritchard Hill, with each one contributing their unique characteristics to our blend.
The dark fruit notes along with distinctive and pleasant chalky sagebrush notes greet your nose at first. This Cabernet has as plush an entry as we’ve seen in a lot of years. A round, soft, mouth filling wine that shows a smooth backbone of tannins and balanced acidity. The finish wraps up nicely with a lingering reminder of the mature dark fruits, ever so slight a hint of new oak, and the ever present palette of flavors that make Cabernet so sought after!
The CONWAY label celebrates our family’s dedication and passion for producing wines of excellent quality. This Cabernet Sauvignon is our inaugural vintage of CONWAY, crafted from carefully chosen vineyard blocks in the prestigious Rutherford appellation. Harvested on two separate dates to allow for exact ripening of the fruit, the grapes were transported in temperature controlled vessels to our winery in Santa Barbara County. Each step of the process from harvest to bottling was executed with precision by our winemaker, Andrew Adam. The care and attention this Cabernet Sauvignon received during its creation is apparent in the quality and complexity of the finished wine. The first sip is captivating, the famed “Rutherford Dust” evident in the glass. We are proud to share this limited production bottling with select markets in the United States.
