Brendel Cooper's Reed Cabernet Sauvignon

Brendel Cooper's Reed Cabernet Sauvignon Red Wine 750ML

This Cabernet begins with fresh aromas of eucalyptus and vibrant red and black fruits. The palate follows the nose and finishes with a thread of softer tannins than you would expect from Napa Valley Cabernet. Perfect for a Cabernet lover to drink every day!

The Cooper's Reed Cabernet Sauvignon is a pure expression of the grape - a contemporary Napa wine made with a historical perspective. The team at Heitz Cellars is incredibly fortunate to source fruit from vineyards in some of the most ideal grape-growing regions of the Napa Valley - this 100% Cabernet Sauvignon is handcrafted with 81% fruit from Rutherford (of Rutherford Dust fame), 13% coming off Howell Mountain, and 6% from St. Helena. A Napa Valley Cabernet from these locales at this INCREDIBLE VALUE is practically unheard of. After a gentle fermentation, the wine was aged in old-school upright neutral casks sealed with decorative reeds- hence the name. This style of the wine harkens back to the classic historical style of Napa Cabernet, reminiscent of the era of Joe Heitz and Leon Brendel- food-friendly, fruit-driven and featuring a juicy acidity. Upon opening, this wine erupts with brambly aromas of ripe red cherry and is framed by soft, supple tannins on the palate. You'll be thankful if you have a few extra bottles handy!
