Description
Liquorice, Oak, Strawberry
Black Market Mystery Wines™ are simply wines we love, with the branding hidden and revealed only when it arrives at your door!
This Mystery wine is a youthful expression of California Cabernet Sauvignon. Aromas of strawberry, red licorice and a touch of fresh mint lead to bright flavors of red cherry, strawberry and sweet cranberry, complemented by soft oak nuances.
Our 2020 Cabernet Sauvignon features fruit from select California vineyards that produce full-bodied, concentrated wines.
The 2020 season started off with immense potential, with mild spring weather leading to bud break occurring about two weeks earlier than average. Fruit set was balanced to light in most varietals, promising good concentration. A warm to hot summer kept grapes ripening right up to harvest where careful selection of picks and gentle processing were key for success.
After a two-day cold soak, the grapes were crushed and fermented at relatively warm temperatures in stainless steel tanks. After pressing, each lot was blended or fined depending on flavor, color and tannin concentration. The wine was aged in a mixture of stainless steel tanks and 2-year old French oak barrels.
