Keenan Napa Valley Spring Mountain District 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley TASTING NOTES The 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon is composed primarily of grapes grown on Keenan’s Spring Moun - tain District Estate; the remainder of the fruit was harvested from the Napa Carneros region and Pope Valley, a grape growing region located in the eastern portion of Napa. Keenan’s Estate Cabernet Sauvignon grapes were harvested beginning on September 3rd, with the final lot being picked on September 23rd. After harvest, the fruit clusters were de-stemmed, then fermented for ten to fourteen days. The wine was barrel aged in thirty-three percent new French and American oak for twenty months. The blend was assembled just before bottling. The Estate grown Cabernet imparts amazing con - centration and remarkable structure, while the portion of Cabernet harvested from Pope Valley adds complex aromas and a balanced mid-palate. REVIEWS Antonio Galloni , Vinous , December 2016 91 Points : “The 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon offers notable depth and intensity in the mid-weight, classically inspired style that runs through all these wines. The coarse, somewhat rustic, tannins need quite a bit of air to soften, but once they do, pretty red stone fruit, spice and floral notes start to develop.” WINE DATA Alcohol: 14.3% Total Acidity: 0.62 grams/100 ml pH: 3.74 Residual Sugar: Dry Bottling Date: August10, 2016 Production: 4,680 cases Blend: 100% Cabernet Sauvignon Vineyard Sources 78% Estate, Spring Mtn.
