The NV14 is the richest, most dense Cain Cuvée we’ve ever bottled. The wine is dark and the bouquet is shy. You won’t really “get it” until you put it in your mouth and savor its firm, round fullness and smooth texture. The wine finishes with a satisfying bitterness. Today, with the exception of Champagne, the blending of vintages has been nearly forgotten and lost, except with Cain Cuvée. Though the vineyards are the same, no two vintages are ever identical. Certainly a thoughtful blend of two vintages will always be more balanced, more complex, and more interesting than either could be by itself.
