Schug 'Heritage Reserve' Cabernet Sauvignon 2009

From 1973 to 1982, Walter Schug crafted some of California's most memorable Cabernet Sauvignon & Bordeaux-style blends as the founding winemaker for Joseph Phelps Vineyards. In this legacy, we craft our Heritage Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon to exhibit the same finesse, intensity, and ability to age that have made his earlier wines valuable collector's wines. Well-structured Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, and Merlot is sourced from Rancho Salina, a volcanic soil vineyard 300 meters above the Sonoma Valley. Aged 24 months in 30% new French oak, 70% 1-3 year-old French and American oak barrels
