The prestigious Game Ranch Vineyard lies on the east-side of the Oakville District AVA along the Silverado Trail. The highly pedigreed vineyards of Screaming Eagle and Nickel & Nickel Tench lie just to the north. This sub-section of the Oakville AVA is renowned for superb, richly-textured Cabernet Sauvignon. The Game Ranch is an old river bottom made up of very rocky, well draining soils influenced by the primarily volcanic composition of the Vaca Mountains: gravelly alluvium covered by shallow gravelly loam and in some places interspersed with large boulders. In this stressful, low moisture environment, the vines struggle to put everything they can into the development of the fruit. With perfect control over the watering of this vineyard site we are able to coax the vines to produce grapes of great concentration and exceptional quality. Exemplary sustainable farming practices provided dense clusters with perfect flavor and maturity.Unfined & unfiltered.DetailsTotal Cases: 868Harvest Dates: October 2009Bottling Date: October 2012Release Date: December 2012Average Degree Brix:Titratable Acidity: 5.4g/LpH at Bottling: 3.72Alcohol Level: 14.5%Blend/Composition: 100% Cabernet SauvignonFermentation:Aging: Tight-grain ALLIERRacked:Winemaker's Notes'2009 proved to a terrific harvest and the fruit came in fully ripe. Everything came in clean with nice flavor. The 2009 vintage has a perfumed nose with intense black currant and blueberry flavors; smoke and walnut show in the finish.' --Nick GoldschmidtAwards & Ratings WINE ENTHUSIAST NOV 26, 2012 -- 94
