The proverbial power is still there but the wine has developed a seamless integration of all its elements. Opulent, ripe fruit and Mediterranean herbs melt together in a glorious bouquet. The 2006 Masseto reflects the particular conditions of the vintage: ripeness, concentration and balance. The intense nose with ripe fruit and jam reflects the summer sun. On the palate it is powerful, rich, and opulent, with tightly woven, sweet, polished tannins balanced perfectly by acidity, which leads into a long finish marked by elegance and freshness.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Masseto","offers":[{"title":"750 mL","offer_id":42937489817792,"sku":"MAS-M06-750","price":1325.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"3-Pack OWC 750 mL","offer_id":41525738438848,"sku":"MAS-M06-753","price":3975.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"1.5 L","offer_id":40823187079360,"sku":"MAS-M06-015","price":3250.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/4310\/4704\/files\/ProductImages_2_1500x1500_21.jpg?v=1704899134"},{"product_id":"2016-domaine-ponsot-clos-de-la-roche-vieilles-vignes","title":"2016 Domaine Ponsot","description":"\u003ch2\u003e2016 Domaine Ponsot Clos de la Roche Grand Cru 'Cuvee Vieilles Vignes', Cote de Nuits, France\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eClassification\u003c\/strong\u003e : Appellation Grand Cru Clos de la Roche\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTarget return\u003c\/strong\u003e: 30 hectolitres\/Ha\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction area\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.2 Ha\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAverage production\u003c\/strong\u003e : 10.000 bottles\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAverage age of vines\u003c\/strong\u003e : 65 year\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVariety\u003c\/strong\u003e : Pinot noir \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting density\u003c\/strong\u003e : 11 000 vines per hectare\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSoil type\u003c\/strong\u003e : Lean, clayey soil with limestone scree\u003cbr\u003eon a base of fine limestone from Premeaux and\u003cbr\u003efrom Comblanchien\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVine management\u003c\/strong\u003e : Reasoned Culture, cord pruning\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHarvest\u003c\/strong\u003e : Manual harvest, sorting in the vineyard\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWinemaking\u003c\/strong\u003e :Destemmed harvest and fermentation in vats\u003cbr\u003ethermoregulated wood.

The last grapes to be harvested came from the vineyards of Castiglioncello di Bolgheri situated at about 350 meters above sea level. The grapes ripened perfectly with no millerandage, which resulted in a great harvest. Wine making: A very gentle crushing and de-stemming of the grapes was followed by fermentation in temperature controlled stainless steel vats (at 30° - 31° C and only using the vineyard’s native yeast). The maceration on the skins lasted 9 to 12 days for both Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon with frequent pumpovers of the musts and délestages.

This slow, methodical ripening is immediately apparent when one tastes the resulting wine from this season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe 2018 Scarecrow Cabernet Sauvignon shows fully ripe aromas, vibrant and effusive, of blackberries on the vine, dusty cherries, and a sense of fresh earth. On the palate the wine broadens to express its Rutherford character with bright red and blue fruits as well as darker tones of mocha and vanilla. The tannins show polish and power in the same moment, offering a glimpse of the wine as it may evolve in the coming years and decades.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv title=\"Page 2\" class=\"page\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"layoutArea\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"column\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHarvested completely by hand at night, between September 24 through October 19, 2018, this wine is entirely grown on the J.J. Cohn Estate in Rutherford, Napa Valley. The berries were destemmed, optically sorted, and fermented in small batches. After approximately 24 days on skins the fruit was gently pressed and transferred to French Oak barrels, of which roughly 80% were new barrels. The juice was kept in these barrels for about 10 months, then assessed for quality before the first assemblage was created in summer 2019 and the blend was finalized in January 2020. After a total of approximately 22 months in French oak, the wine was bottled in late July 2020 without fining or filtration. A total of 1800 cases were produced.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Scarecrow","offers":[{"title":"750 mL","offer_id":40823549755584,"sku":"SCA-C18-750","price":895.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"3-Pack OWC 750 mL","offer_id":43459275194560,"sku":"SCA-C18-753","price":2895.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/4310\/4704\/files\/2018_Scarecrow_Cabernet_Sauvignon_Rutherford_Napa_Valley_bottle_front.jpg?v=1756908381"}],"url":"https:\/\/angrywinemerchant.com\/collections\/collection-list-view.oembed?page=3","provider":"Angry Wine Merchant","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
