The 2015 Hundred Acre Deep Time Cabernet Sauvignon is a remarkable wine. Deep Time started as an experimental blend in 2001, only available to the mailing - list members. Winemaker Jayson Woodbridge crafts a small number of barrels of this special Cabernet each year. It undergoes a 48 - month barrel - aging process, offering greater intensity compared to regular vineyard - designated blends. Aging a wine this long usually risks over - oaking, but they've skillfully avoided it. The 2015 vintage is sourced from all his vineyard sites - Ark, Kayli Morgan, and Few & Far Between. This wine is multi - layered, full - bodied, and seamless, with the well - known Hundred Acre flavors of blackberry, crème de cassis, cedar, and graphite from start to finish.
To enjoy this 2015 Hundred Acre Deep Time Cabernet Sauvignon, first, let it breathe for about an hour in a decanter. This helps to open up the complex flavors. Pour it into a large - bowl red wine glass to enhance the aroma. When serving, keep the temperature around 60 - 65°F for the best taste. As for storage, keep the bottle in a cool, dark place, lying on its side to keep the cork moist. This wine is best paired with rich, flavorful dishes like grilled steak or lamb chops. Avoid drinking it if it has an off - smell or taste, as this could indicate spoilage. With proper care, you can savor this special wine for many years.
