Murphy Goode Cabernet Sauvignon

What a magnificent red wine this Californian is, made from 82 percent Cabernet Sauvignon, the remainder supplemented with Cabernet Franc. Murphy Goode has owned the old vines for over thirty years, and they produce beautiful bunches. Because winemaker David Ready Jr. dedicates considerable time to the vineyard, the result is a pure and complex wine.

Murphy Goode wines

In 1985, friends Tim Murphy, Dale Goode, and Dave Ready decided to join forces, thus establishing Murphy Goode. The winery is located in the Alexander Valley in northern Sanoma County. Today, it is part of the Jackson Family Wines Collection. In the United States, the winery is known for its straightforward, award-winning wines and its relaxed, unpretentious style. The winery is still run by the same family. Tim Murphy's three sons manage the business, and Dave Ready's sons are responsible for winemaking. The vineyards are situated close to the banks of the Russian River. The mist along the riverbank keeps the fruit cool and helps develop beautiful aromas.

Full and very powerful this Murphy Goode Cabernet Sauvignon

California is the most important state, responsible for approximately ninety percent of America's wine production. The warm climate and abundant sunshine allow the grapes to ripen well, producing beautifully powerful wines bursting with aromas. This Cabernet Sauvignon, for example, demonstrates how a warm climate significantly influences the richness of a wine. The winemaker strives for finesse and complexity. This translates into aromas of black cherries, a hint of licorice, chocolate, and a hint of toast. The oak aging enhances the palate with a fuller and more powerful flavor, revealing many beautiful nuances of cherry, blackberry, and forest. The back of the palate reveals more distinctive flavors such as cocoa, pepper, toasted oak, and a hint of almond.
