Our
Wines We are focused on crafting exceptional wines from our estate grown Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon. We believe that minimal handling and manipulation of our grapes and wine yields the purest expression of Detert Family Vineyard’s unique terroir. To that end, we hand pick and sort every cluster of grapes. We allow natural fermentation of the must in the tank, and malolactic fermentation in barrel. We press our wines directly into a mix of new and one-, two-, and three-year old French oak barrels. Mailing list member order page Prior Vintages - Tasting Notes 2005 Oakville Cabernet Franc Tasting Notes A perfumed nose, showing sage, cocoa powder, black cherry and hints of clay. Very smooth on the palate with excellent tannin integration. Flavors of chocolate, mineral, black cherry and olive resonate. The long complex finish reveals the pedigree of this Franc. While the tannins of the 2005 Cabernet Franc are ripe and integrated, this wine is still young and will benefit from another year in bottle. Should age effortlessly for ten years. Profile 2005 Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon Tasting Notes Complex aromas of blackberry, cherry and mineral lead to a mouthful of classic Oakville Cabernet. Elegantly structured but lush and rich, this wine shows layers of black fruits, mineral, black olive and hints of tobacco. Black cherry, mineral and mocha notes push through on the long finish. Utterly delicious at this stage but will reveal more depth and complexity with time in bottle. Profile |
