Zanzibar Cellars Sandra 05
winery: Zanzibar Cellars
Wine Spectator 93 points: "Zanzibar Sandra Horse Heaven Hills - Velvety and generous. A plush mouthful of blueberry, plum, cream and dark chocolate flavors that echo through the long, resonant finish. Strikes a superb balance between rich fruit, savory side notes and good depth. Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Syrah. Best from 2009 through 2017. 425 cases made." -HS
MORE INFORMATION
From the Winery:
A blend of 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 13% Cabernet Franc and 11% Syrah from Columbia valley vineyards. Grapes are hand harvested and undergo small batch whole berry fermentation and extended maceration to ensure the development of remarkable and supple structure and body.
Malolactic fermentation is completed in 100% new French oak barrels, where the wine continues to age and mature for 15 months until it is bottled. It will then be cellared for the next 6 months before it is released.
