2017 Star Lane Vineyard 'Astral' Cabernet Sauvignon

The 2017 Star Lane Vineyard Astral Cabernet Sauvignon, the flagship wine of the estate. This exquisite wine is produced from select blocks of own-rooted Cabernet at Star Lane Vineyard, with less than four hundred cases produced each vintage.  With a cellar life of 15-20 years, this wine is truly a treasure to be savored. Upon tasting, the 2017 Star Lane Vineyard Astral Cabernet Sauvignon is a delight to the senses. It may be the most fruit forward and open Cabernet Sauvignon since the 2012 vintage. The wine showcases the exposure to a warmer ripening season with bright red fruits, while still maintaining the cool coastal sage notes that add complexity to the wine, a hallmark of the Star Lane Vineyard. The texture is sneaky, with initial softness giving way to ample (but not overwhelming) tannin on the 2nd and 3rd sip. In summary, the 2017 Star Lane Vineyard Astral Cabernet Sauvignon is a rare and exceptional wine that is sure to impress even the most discerning of palates. With limited production and a long cellar life, this wine is a true investment in quality and taste.
