2019 Few and Far Between Cabernet Sauvignon

Pure, lively, and lifted, with an infusion of creamy blackberry, blueberry, and black cherry fruit on both the nose and palate. Gorgeously subtle whispers of cedar spices, white truffle, and sagebrush layer in harmonic nuances. At 16.1% alcohol, there isn�t even a hint of heat, and owner-winemaker Jayson Woodbridge explains that no matter what they do, they can�t seem to achieve the phenolic ripeness he�s after under 16%, but it�s moot because the balance is so impressive he should be teaching a masterclass on the subject. The wine is reservedly powerful, with the utmost elegance, harmonious acidity and nobly ripe tannins, which are smooth and fine, conferring a seamless tasting experience. Few and Far Between is Hundred Acre�s estate 2 hectare vineyard surrounding the Woodbridge home in Calistoga and shares a fence line with Eisele Vineyard. Planted to Cabernet Sauvignon and one �Home Block� of Cabernet Franc, which abuts the veranda of the Woodridge home, the final blend includes some of the Franc. Owner-winemaker Jayson Woodbridge ages this wine up to 30 months in French oak barriques.
