2009 MARSTON FAMILY VINEYARD CABERNET SAUVIGNON
Our 2009 vintage marks our twelfth release from our family estate, and our forty-third growing season in the Napa Valley. Following average winter rainfall, the 2009 growing season began with favorable spring conditions that yielded uniform vine growth and a successful fruit set. The summer months saw modest temperatures for ripening, and after a brief mid-October rain we hand-picked our favorite blocks on October 25th. Our 2009 Marston Family Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon is a “Classic Marston”, and nothing short of spectacular. Appellation: Spring Mountain District, Napa Valley
Composition: 100% Cabernet Sauvignon
Barrel Aging: 20 months (100% New French Oak)
Production: 300 Cases
Winemaker Tasting Notes: “The 2009 vintage is a classic Marston in every sense. The powerful bouquet of black currant, red plum, raspberry, rose petals, anise, black pepper, and hints of leather engage the nose immediately. A distinctive black raspberry front leads to a luscious mouth of black plum, red currant, pomegranate, sweet tobacco, cocoa, and cassis. The layers of complexity in the mid palate give way to the young, well-integrated tannins for a long lingering finish.” – Marbue Marke
