2008 Calina Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon Price: $10 - Add to Cart (United States Shipping Only) "Our 2008 Cabernet is a true expression of the Maule terroir. Dark red in color, it features ripe blackberries, cedar, spice, vanilla and cola in the nose. A lush mid palate is backed up by firm tannins and a long finish." Winemaker, Gavin Taylor Overall, 2008 was an excellent year with mild autumn temperatures that allowed the grapes to hang for an extended period. Intense vineyard practices, including winter pruning, shoot suckering and fruit thinning, ensured that all vines were in perfect balance. Harvest was done entirely by hand based upon taste, not numbers. After a three-day, cold soak to extract additional color and flavor, the juice was fermented and then transferred to a combination of French and American oak barrels for 10 months.
