I Have a new cult wine, Holloway Cellars!

You guys like hillside fruit?  How about clone 337.  How about goulding clay that is the red dirt, known for great cabernets?

The fruit is grown at 2200 feet by the famous Beckstoffer family. Most of this vineyard is machine harvested but not the fruit for this wine, it is hand picked at night, brixs were 25.5% ( old school)!

Throw in a little little cab franc, malbec and petite vedot for flavor, on the skins for 3 weeks and finally age 18 to 22 months in French and American oak!

The result: fantastic Cabernet! Only 148 cases made, hence cult wine status. Oh you want the name? Holloway Cellars, oh yeah I said that in the title!

Well, I have to say it is very nice now but I dare to project it will develop. With it's fruit to acid balance it should go for years. Mitch, the winemaker, says 6 to 8 on the safe side but decades is the reality on the other hand.

Let me know if this is of interest to you, send me an email if you need assistance with anything doing with wine as this is my objective!

I can tell you the result is one great cabernet!  Mark V Marino
