Wine Description
The Story
G Major 7 Study Cabernet Sauvignon is blended from selected fruit off the 575 ovx vineyard and is named after a classic jazz guitar chord. Like its namesake, it is composed of four of the five classic Bordeaux varietals, Cabernet Sauvignon 85%, Cabernet Franc 12% , Petite Verdot 8% and Merlot 1%. The grapes are derive from four separate vineyard blocks in Eastern Oakville's red rocks. The wine is aged for 22 months in medium toast French barriques from which 90 percent were new. Production is approx. 900 cases annually.
G Major 7 is highly nuanced and provides a profound sense of elegance and complexity, changing with every swirl and sip. The nose reflects subtle floral notes, which develop into deep, crushed berry and earth flavors on the palate. Its tannins are refined and seamlessly integrated. The aging potential is 25 plus years.
