The Cobalt 2014 was aged for 23 months in French Oak, then another 2 years in the bottles, and is now ready for release. This wine exhibits lush, dark mountain fruit with subtle hints of mocha and baking spices framed by a well-integrated oak and tannic structure. It is drinking beautifully now and will continue to age gracefully for years. The 2014 vintage atop Spring Mountain was the third in a string of three great vintages. There was not much of a winter, with far below average rainfall. A moderate spring lead into a record breaking summer for high temperatures. However the diurnal effect from our mountain top allowed for very cool nights aiding the vine in slowing down any rapid ripening of the fruit. |
