Trifecta 2004 - Seabiscuit Ranch

Sold Out

The legend of the famous race horse "Seabiscuit" lives within this wine.

The grapes came from two terraced vineyards in Reeves Canyon, both located on the original Ridgewood Ranch that was Seabiscuit’s retirement home.

This is an exceptional red wine blend of three classic varieties, and is the second release of Seabiscuit Ranch Trifecta. This “reserve” quality wine is comprised primarily of Cabernet Sauvignon blended with Merlot and Cabernet Franc. The combination of these varietals develops mouth-filling fruit flavors of blissful pleasure.

The cool and dry 2003 growing season allowed the grapes to mature slowly and develop flavors of ripe plums, cherries and blackberries. The grapes were harvested by hand and fermented dry in stainless steel tanks.

In November 2004, after pressing, the wines were transferred into small oak barrels and aged for 15 months. Premium barrels of each variety were blended and aged in new American oak barrels for six additional months prior to final bottling.

The wine has a deep purple color, concentrated ripe fruit aromas and flavors, and a medium to robust body. It has soft tannins and is ideal for drinking now, yet will benefit from further bottle aging for many years.
