COPLAN VINEYARDS Resonate Cabernet Sauvignon, Sonoma Valley
- Classic Bordeaux style Cabernet from organically farmed Coplan Vineyards
- Cool climate, picked early to preserve acidity
- Heritage, old vine Cabernet from the 1940s - how cool is that?
WINEMAKER: Jacqueline Yoakum: Alumni of Littorai, Schramsberg, Keller, Stags Leap Wine Cellars. Consulting winemaker Greggarious, Magnus and Astorie.
AVA DESIGNATED: Sonoma Valley
WHAT WE TASTED: Big aromas and flavors of black currants, cola, tobacco, chocolate and toasted oak are carried across the palate with delicate tannins. A hint of graphite on the long finish reminds you of the terroir supporting these very old Cabernet Sauvignon vines. We think the long finish "resonates" beautifully.
WHAT WE PAIRED:
- BBQ pork ribs, summer corn, salad
- Morton's burger with blue cheese sitting at the bar of course
- Lamb any which way
- Lemon Ricotto Gnocchi
