Cain NV12 Napa Valley Red Wine
| Description: | <p class="MsoNormal">Winemaker notes: People ask, why blend vintages? Cain asks, why not? The benefits of blending vintages can work similarly to blending varieties. A wine with layers of complexity, wrapped around a balanced and flowing core is their quest. They also want a wine with individuality, a specific personality, so they have found that working with just two vintages is best. The Nv12 is a happy blend of the warm, generous 2012 vintage and the cool, aromatic, and structured wines of 2011. The beautiful perfume of Cain's mountains floats ethereally over a round, plump, inviting wine. It is complex, a blend of the Cabernet family, dominated by Merlot (almost half). However, more than varieties or even vintages, think place: the Nv12 is about half valley floor and half Spring Mountain fruit. The perfume and structure of the wines of the mountains combine with the supple juiciness of their wines from the valley floor to create a delicious, ethereal blend.<o:p></o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal">Cain's Cain Cuvee Nv 12 sits lightly on the palate, it is refined and refreshing, and it goes perfectly with a wide array of lighter dishes, from salad to pasta to grilled fish.<o:p></o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="FR">Blend: 50% Merlot, 32% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Cabernet Franc, 4% Petit Verdot, 4% Malbec<o:p></o:p></span></p> |
