Product Details

The oldest vines (between 60 and 80 years) produce fruit unlike any other. This Cabernet Sauvignon has stupefying levels of fruit and extract.

The blackberry, blackcurrant and jammy notes give way to pepper, mint, cedar and black cherry. Dense and dark, with rock-ribbed tannins when young, it will round out to a smooth lustrous finish that goes on forever at its peak.

Sommelier Select™ Old Vine Cabernet Sauvignon includes grapeskins* in the kit. Grapeskins are an excellent addition to wine kits. Not only do they enhance body, mouth-feel and tannin, they also boost color, flavor and aroma. This is because all of the raw ingredients for these things are found in the skin of a red grape. All of our red juices are macerated in our wineries to get the most out of their skins, but adding an extra dose of skin material turns up the volume on the wine's character.

Yield: 6 Gallons

*This recipe kit uses a RealGrape pack to boost flavor and body. Because the grape skins are not dried, they take up more space in your fermentor. This recipe requires the larger 7.9 gallon wine fermentor.

As with Winexpert kits, labels are furnished. Would appreciate Master Vintner did the same. Have not finished the bottling yet, so no review of the wine.

So far, so good. Currently aging in glass carboy. I didn’t use the supplied wood chips. Instead I am using 3oz of bourbon barrel chips and 4oz of medium/medium plus oak cubes. I did get to sample some extremely fresh wine between the secondary and my aging carboy and it seems to be off to a great start. Planning on bottling before Thanksgiving at around the 3 month mark.

Old Vine cab sauvignon kit review

The experience making this wine was educational and rewarding. I went through all the steps as described and the wine came out pretty good. The only thing I ran into was that the gravity level for secondary fermentation did not go below .998 ...wine was in secondary for 3 weeks and did not show further co2 release so i went onto the clarifying stage. Wine turned out good..more fruity than most cabs, which i liked, and also less tanin which i liked also..have bottled the wine already and will see how it will taste in 3 months!
