2015 David Arthur 1147 Elevation Cabernet Sauvignon

The David Arthur winery and estate vineyards are located on Pritchard Hill on the initial Long Family Ranch parcel that Don Long purchased in the 1960s. His son, David Arthur Long, started the winery with the 19 acres planted to mostly Bordeaux varietals. The highly sought-after and acclaimed 1147 Elevation is consistently 100% Cabernet Sauvignon and aged in 100% new French oak. The 2015 vintage shows tell-tale eastside aromas of sagebrush in addition to subtle notes of black tea and brown sugar. Its palate is expansive with dark fruits, forest floor, and chewy, mineral-like tannins. James Suckling awarded this vintage 97 points.
