Fantesca All Great Things Duty 2012
The Winery
Fantesca
Rich with history, Fantesca's vineyard was initially planted in the 1860s as part of Caroline Bale's dowry when she married Charles Krug. Later, the land was sold and fell dormant until replanted in 1997. Now proprietors, Susan and Duane Hoff had established successful careers in Minneapolis but eventually wanted to trade their corporate lifestyle for a new way of life and start a family business. In 2004, they purchased the property and named it Fantesca Estate & Winery, and brought aboard legendary winemaker Heidi Barrett in 2008. The property has a proud history of women that live up to the Fantesca namesake: sexy, smart, and unpretentious.
Summary
Fantesca All Great Things “Duty” 2012 is a distinctive Cabernet-led Bordeaux blend from the esteemed Spring Mountain estate in Napa Valley, crafted by renowned winemaker Heidi Barrett. This limited production wine showcases the exceptional qualities of the 2012 vintage, characterized by ripe flavors of cassis and blackberry, with floral notes of violet and a hint of graphite. Aged in French oak, it features polished tannins and a refreshing acidity that enhances its structure. The blend is thoughtfully composed from select mountain and valley vineyard sites, making it a powerful and age-worthy choice for wine enthusiasts.
