Revelation Cabernet Sauvignon

The marriage of California's frontier spirit, coupled with time-honored French winemaking techniques, give depth and nuance to Captûre Wines. For each of our distinctive red wines we have selected grapes from the unique terroir of our Tin Cross Vineyards estate. Situated 2,450 feet above the Alexander Valley floor in Sonoma County, our vineyards are among the highest in California.

Winemaking
With multi-generational experience from Château Latour, our winemaking team understands the methods behind crafting classic Bordeaux-style wines with intense fruit from hillside vineyards harvested at peak ripeness. All of our grapes are gently hand sorted and go through extended maceration to extract optimal color and flavor. Winemakers May-Britt and Denis Malbec chose a sophisticated regime, comprised of only the best French oak for this red wine.

Winemaker Notes
Révélation is our signature wine, a true Pauillac-inspired Cabernet Sauvignon that immediately offers graphite, pencil shavings, ripe blackberries and cassis on the nose. The tannins in this 2009 cuvee are ripe and round, defying its youth. The palate has espresso and dark chocolate notes, intense minerality, and the new French oak already well integrated. This intense yet elegant wine will age effortlessly for 20 years or more. The Cabernet Sauvignon is blended with small amounts of Merlot and Cabernet Franc to further its dimension and depth.

Farming
Captûre's estate fruit is grown at Tin Cross Vineyards. Every vine is organically farmed and maintained to meet rigorous field specifications, a practice which yields healthier, more sustainable vines that positively contribute to the longevity of the land and the quality of the fruit produced.
