2007 Cult Vines Cabernet Sauvignon

2007 Cult Vines Cabernet Sauvignon

A while back I wrote about CultVinesCabernet and Roussanne and they just sent me a very neat offer that I thought I’d pass on:

“Send some Holiday Cheer and receive Gary Vaynerchuck’s Book, “Crush It” for free!

Well folks, it’s that time of the year again, but this year we’ve got great news! After two long years in french oak, our 100% To Kalon Cabernet has been released and boy does it taste fantastic! We’ve already received rave reviews, such as this one. http://corkd.com/x1NBzS3 Cork’d | Wine Reviews for 2007 Cult Vines Cabernet Sauvignon (94 points)

Anyway, for the month of December, we’re celebrating by offering two promos. For every order of our white or red, we’ll throw in Gary’s new book “Crush It”. Its’ a great read and inspirational for anyone looking to have a great 2010. And, if you order at least 6 bottles, use coupon code promo30 and we’ll give you an additional 30% off our wine!”

I’m in!

Cult Vines at Spit & Twit – Crème de la Crème Wines

I attended Wine Twits’ Spit & Twit event last week at City Winery in New York City.  The launch event for this concept was very well-attended and featured over 100 wines from around the world.

While I enjoyed some pretty great wines and met fabulous folks in the wine trade, I especially enjoyed the two wines served by Cult Vines, whose motto is “is to provide the finest wine to discreet connoisseurs and collectors”.

2008 Alder Springs Roussanne Westerly Vineyard

2008 Cult Vines Roussanne

2008 Cult Vines Roussanne

This golden honey colored Roussanne has a beautiful nose, huge mouthfeel, bright apple flavor.  This wine is well-balanced but with higher alcohol content and would be outstanding with food.  Could use some cellaring.  Chardonnay drinkers, move over to this wine.

 

Price:  Around $49

 

2007 Cabernet Sauvignon To Kalon Vineyards

2007 Cult Vines Cabernet Sauvignon

It was difficult to pull myself away from the lush fruit aroma in order to actually sip this wine, but I certainly wasn’t disappointed when I did.  This Cabernet offers the darkest, opaque purple hue that’s easy to simply stare at for a while.  This wine is full of ripe fruit, especially blackberry, and young, not at all unpleasant, tannins.  Craved a rare porterhouse after the first sip.

 

Price:  Around $125
