Description
Baby Blue, made primarily from the estate’s young vines, is meant to be softer and more immediately accessible than the deeply structured Blue Rock Cabernet. Winemaker Kenny Kahn realized the need for an affordable, everyday cabernet that had real personality and soul. The 2010 vintage gave us a lot of great wine to work with. The 100% Estate 2010 Baby Blue is 52% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25 % Merlot, 13 % Cabernet Franc, and 10% Syrah. The wine spent 16 months in French Oak (once used) and has been bottled unfined.
Robert Parker loved the previous vintage giving it 90 points and saying… “The innovative blend called Baby Blue, made of 51% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Cabernet Franc,18% Syrah, and 6% Merlot, has a floral nose of red and black currants as well as spice box. Its seductive aromatics are followed by a silky textured, medium to full-‐bodied wine with loads of personality and soul. This is an interesting blend that seems to work very well and needs to be explored by more wineries. Drink it over the next 7-‐8 years. Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate #193 February, 2011
