KENWOOD CABERNET SAUVIGNON ARTIST SERIES 2013
WINERY NOTES:
For more than three decades, the Artist Series remains the ultimate expression of artistry and fine winemaking by blending the finest Cabernet Sauvignon produced from the very best vineyards in Sonoma County. Winemaker and artist come together to explore the unique terroir, vintage conditions and ultimately the wine crafted for each release. The artistry displayed on the bottle and within makes each new Artist Series release an event and every Artist Series vintage a prime collectible. These age worthy wines are full-bodied with richly layered fruit, integrated oak and polished texture.
THE ARTIST
Clare E. Rojas (born 1976) tells stories though painting, music, installations and video work. Her narratives used to be based in folk art tableaus that tackled gender stereotypes. Recently she has moved into pure geometric abstractions. She sees them as part of a continuum free of limitations and tied to her interest in color, line, shape and space. The geometric abstractions reference West Coast modernism, Quaker art, Native American textiles, Byzantine mosaics, and Outsider art."For me the shift to abstraction was personal. There are a couple of challenges I find in abstraction. One is letting go of the idea that the viewer is supposed to perceive my work one way. There is no right or wrong way to look at the work."
Based in San Francisco, Clare takes inspiration for her art from her surroundings. For the Untitled piece featured on the 2013 label, Clare was moved to capture the reflection of light and shadow of a landscape over the course of a day, capturing time in moments.
THE HARVEST
2013 was the driest growing season of California's historic 4-year drought with less than 9" of rain for the entire year. While the weather was quite dry it was also very mild with just two days of 100-degree weather in late June. The extremely dry conditions made for very small berries with a high skin to juice ratio concentrating the fruit. This combined with warm, but not hot, days and cool nights allowed thevines to slowly ripen the grapes to full flavor over the course of the entire summer.
TASTE PROFILE
Enticing aromas of coco nibs, red currant and wild raspberry lead to flavors of cherry and blackberry on the palette. The wine is well-balanced with moderate acidity that will provide for many years of aging
Composition: 97% Cabernet Sauvignon, 3% Petit Verdot & Cabernet Franc
Acidity/pH: 3.5 / 6.6
Alcohol: 14.5%
Bottling Date: 5/25/16
750ml bottle
