Revana Cabernet Sauvignon 2008
#REV08CS3 | 750mL
I've been fortunate to work closely with Revana Family Vineyard year in and year out, regardless of vintages and regardless of hype. The '08 Revana is an elegant offering that reveals a balance of fruit and earth. This new vintage is mainly Cabernet Sauvignon with a touch of Cab Franc and Petit Verdot. While Heidi Barrett has been their winemaker since their first vintage, Thomas Brown has taken over as winemaker. This '09 though was made by Heidi & Thomas. -Kerrin Laz, Wine Director
Vintner's Perspective
"With luxuries such as a world class winemaker, an inspirational vineyard, and a state of the art facility, we are fortunate to have the ability to create wines of precision that rival the best the world has to offer. Heidi composed the 2008 Cabernet from eight different vineyard blocks on our estate, including small amounts of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. The wine was aged for eighteen months in French oak and bottle aged for one year prior to release. Tasting Notes: The 2008 Revana Family Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon is an incredible example of what the 2008 vintage had to offer. A supple blend of our Estate Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, the 2008 vintage is opulent and well-balanced. Dark and dense in color with aromas of lavender, cassis and earthy wild berry, this wine displays great depth. It boasts stunning concentration on the palate with dark cherry, cacao, coffee bean and a hint of caramel. Finishing with full-boded tannins, this wine exhibits an undeniable finesse."
