Rowen Wine Company 2040 Cabernet Sauvignon 2019 Review
The vines that produced the fruit for this wine sit 2,040 feet above sea level on the highest block of the expansive Cooley Ranch in the western reaches of Sonoma County — hence the name of this bottling. Steep slopes, plenty of sun, and rocky soils force the vines to work a bit harder to produce fruit, resulting in good concentration in the grapes. The result is a wine with great character. The nose has hints of brambles, plums, and pepper. It’s also starting to show the tertiary characteristics that come from half a decade aging in the bottle. The palate is calm, as the tannins start to melt into the core of the wine.
