Cannonball Cabernet Sauvignon 'Eleven' 2016
Product description
True to their origins, Cannonball ELEVEN wines are approachable, with an elevation in complexity and sophistication. Their Cannonball ELEVEN range of limited-production wines is a quest for distinction. Their winemaker is both a traditionalist and a progressive, thriving on the tension between the classic and the modern. They seek small, meticulously tended vineyards that bear fruit of exceptional character to tell their winemaking story.
ON A SCALE OF ONE TO TEN, THIS CANNONBALL DESERVES AN ELEVEN.
ELEVEN is considered a Master Number. A Master Number represents something well above and beyond the mundane. It connotes instinct, charisma, dynamic capability and an overwhelming desire to produce something extraordinary. These are the truths they channel in crafting the Cannonball ELEVEN wines.
Sourced from a Sonoma Valley vineyard perched on a steep hillside, where intensely rocky soils and elevations of 600 feet and higher coalesce to yield tiny, darkly pigmented berries. The Sonoma Valley fruit is framed and tamed by their Alexander Valley vineyard, nestled in the mild climate of the southern Alexander Valley. The 2016 Eleven Cabernet Sauvignon reveals a purple core of luscious, juicy ripe black fruits, blueberry, peppered meats, and rich earthy notes. Excellent balance and structure complimented by firm acidity and soft integrated tannins.
92 Points - Decanter
Excellent concentration of fruit with remarkable depth and complexity. Notes of rich black cherry forest fruit, thyme, sweet red fruits and chocolate with a bold and warming finish.
