Tasting Notes
2017 Saunter Red Head Vineyard, Clone 685 Cabernet Sauvignon ~ BD13 Offering $55.00 (Originally $110.00)
The 2017 Saunter Red Head Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon shows excellent perfume, concentration, and depth with blackberry, currant, lavender, baking spices, licorice, roasted meats, and savory herbs. While still in a primary phase, there is no denying its potential. Give it a couple of years in the cellar and you will be generously rewarded over the following 15 years or more. HOLD (2023 – 2038+)
2017 Saunter Eagle Summit Vineyard, Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon ~ BD13 Offering $55.00 (Originally $110.00)
The 2017 Saunter Eagle Summit Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon entices on the nose with blackberry, vanilla extract, flowers, tar, and sage, with a hint of blood orange. The palate presents a tightly wound core of black fruit, crushed rock, and underbrush. Slow to uncoil and buttressed by sturdy tannin, over time chocolate ganache and cocoa powder are revealed offering a glimpse into the enjoyment to come. Give it a couple of years in the cellar to evolve (or an extended decant) and then enjoy over the next couple decades. HOLD (2023 – 2043)
2013 Saunter Eagle Summit Vineyard, Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon - Win Me!
The 2013 Saunter Eagle Summit Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon is a massive powerhouse of wild black fruit, pencil shavings, eucalyptus, leather, and pipe tobacco, that’s tightly packed and notably austere. A double decant further yields ripe black cherry, cedar chest, and gravelly earth, but the firm tannin will need a few more years in the bottle before it relents. Time will generously reward those with patience. Hold for another two to five years before drinking over the next 15 or 20 years. HOLD (2024 – 2040+)
2013 Saunter Red Head Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon, Clone 685 - Win me!
The 2013 Saunter Red Head Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon is hauntingly dark, strikingly powerful, and extraordinarily complex. Pure black fruits meld with fragrant licorice, fig paste, underbrush, leather, and tobacco with a sprinkle of baking spice. Brooding and savory on the palate, there’s an underpinning of chalky austerity that dissipates over time, revealing further complexity. Give it a couple more years in the cellar and you’ll be generously rewarded over the next couple decades. HOLD (2023 – 2041)
