600 L 2019
Sonoma County, California, United States600L comprises the best grapes grown from exceptional blocks that top out at 2,040 feet above sea level on the 20,000-acre Cooley Ranch in the western reaches of Sonoma County. It is named after its fermentation vessel, a custom-made 600L barrel used when making experimental, small-batch wines. Rowan owner and winemaker Justin Seidenfeld chose just a few rows of Cooley Ranch’s Sky High vineyard, where the grapes are picked by hand and fermented in 600L French oak barrels. Once in the barrel, there is a gravity-only process to move the wine around; each bottle is filled by hand and hand-numbered by Seidenfeld. 2019 was born from a superior vintage, pitching dried bay leaves and spicy blackcurrant, blackberry, and cherry, with an appropriate light/dark, mocha/chocolate aroma. The wine possesses grace and power with a fineness of tannins that match the intensity of the mountain-grown grapes. Impressive. 600L stands alone as the best of the best from Rowen Wine Company in 2019, a 90/10 mix of cabernet sauvignon/petit verdot that spent 24 months in French oak barrels.Tasted: 12 January 2024Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $79.99 | 750ml | Special Order - Mark Anthony |
