Switchback RidgeCabernet Sauvignon 2014

"Switchback Ridge wines are sourced exclusively from the Peterson Family Vineyard in Calistoga. The property has been in the Peterson family since 1914 and encompasses nearly 100 acres at the mouth of Dutch Henry Canyon, which is located at the northeastern end of the Napa Valley. The rich, rocky soils of this beautiful vineyard site consistently produce low yields of intensely flavored fruit, resulting in extremely concentrated, fruit-driven wines that are the hallmark of Switchback Ridge. Talented winemaker Bob Foley has been making the wines since Switchback Ridge's first vintage in 1999.

A deeply concentrated and powerful Cabernet Sauvignon with great depth, structure and beautiful balance. Layers of Bing cherry, blackberry and cassis are intermingled with subtle hints of black licorice, espresso and sandalwood. The flavors expand on your palate and gain intensity before they give way to a long, endless finish. A perfect combination of fruit intensity, bright acidity and silky tannin structure for early enjoyment and long term cellaring." -  Bob Foley, Winemaker
