2001 Taken from Granite ‘Swan Song’ Renaissance Vineyard
Size: 750ml
Grape: 75% Cabernet Sauvignon with the remainder including Merlot and Cabernet Franc
Producer: Gideon Beinstock and Saron Rice
Region: California, United States (North Yuba, super northern California, from the famed Renaissance Vineyard)
In the cellar: Aged on lees in old French oak barrels for as long as Gideon feels is needed before being bottled, unfined and unfiltered, with minimal use of sulfites.
Farming method: Biodynamic
Tasting notes: A gorgeous full-bodied Cab with port-like aromas and notes of plum, fig, and tobacco leaves. This special bottling’s complexity only increases with time. Even after decades in their cellar, Gideon’s wines maintain radiant vibrancy, energy, and restraint. Gideon is truly one of the most special and unique domestic producers living today!
