2008 La Sirena Cabernet Sauvignon, Magnum 1.5L

2008 La Sirena Cabernet Sauvignon, Magnum 1.5L

Elegantly displayed, our Cabernet magnums are etched , hand-painted and signed by Heidi Barrett and arrive in a wooden display box.  Only 90 of them exist! The flagship wine for La Sirena.  This is what Heidi Barrett does best.  Cabernet of great depth and elegance with purity of fruit and amazing balance. Very little was produced after the tough frost season we had in the spring of 08 (this business - not for the faint of heart!) but the resulting wine is delicious. The blend is 83% Cabernet Sauvignon, 11% Merlot, 4% Petit Verdot, 2% Cab Franc.

This 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon is made from fruit grown in several exceptional vineyards selected from the northern end of the Napa Valley. Very little was produced after the tough frost season we had in the spring of 08 (this business - not for the faint of heart!) but the resulting wine is delicious. The blend is 83% Cabernet Sauvignon, 11% Merlot, 4% Petit Verdot, 2% Cab Franc.

Heidi has this to say in her tasting notes (tasted 08/26/2011 by HPB):

"Gorgeous deep ruby color with a profound nose of black cherry, currants, ripe wild blackberries, a touch of cinnamon and spice, accented lightly by sweet toasty French oak. A very pure, layered wine, silky mouthfeel with bursts of flavor that mirror the aromas. The texture and balance are beautiful with very light chewy refined tannins and overall structure that will lend itself well to additional cellaring. Absolutely yummy!"
