Sixteen 600 Description

The Vineyard: The tiny Severson Vineyard is one of the few Valley floor vineyards Phil Coturri farms. In fact, there are a few exceptional Cabernet vineyards in this part of the valley where the deep lush soils typical of this fertile area give way to a rocky, gravely alluvial fan, what Phil calls Sonoma’s Left Bank. The vineyard is located in the southwest end of the valley, an area without protection from the Sonoma or Mayacamas mountain ranges known for cool, windy nights but long, hot Summer days that allow the grapes to ripen.

The Vintage: The early spring bud break threatened calamity that never came. A benign, even benevolent growing season with a temperate summer and long cool fall coupled with large yields for extended hang time and ripe, balanced flavor development.

Tasting Notes: Well-drained soils kept the roots of the Cabernet dry and allowed the fruit to ripen in the weeks after mid-October rain. However, through the cooler October nights and shorter days, the ripe flavors kept an austerity that balances the wine. Almost two years in neutral oak barrels allowed for slow aging and helped mellow the tannins while retaining the singularity of the terroir. The wine is both rich and intense with a fleeting lightness across the finish. A bouquet of flinty, tobacco aroma gives way to flavors of dark fruit built on well-structured tannins and gravelly minerality.

Certified organic from rocky, alluvial soils. Fermented in open top stainless steel. Three day cold soak, native yeast fermentation and a 21 day maceration. Aged 22 months in neutral oak barrels. 14.5% Alc., 3.61 pH - 200cs made.
