Mayor's Select

2009 Kentucky Cabernet Sauvignon

Elk Creek Vineyards Mayor's Select is a striking red Cabernet Sauvignon from the picturesque region of Kentucky, showcasing the unique terroir of this lesser-known winegrowing area. The 2009 vintage presents a beautifully structured wine with a full body that offers an abundance of complexity. Its acidity is bright and lively, providing a refreshing lift that perfectly balances the wine's richness. The fruit intensity is prominent, with enticing notes of dark cherry and blackberry that harmonize wonderfully with subtle hints of oak and spice. Tannins are notably firm and well-integrated, lending a lovely backbone to the wine while ensuring a smooth finish. This remarkable Cabernet Sauvignon is dry, making it an excellent choice for pairing with hearty dishes or enjoying on its own by the fireplace.

From rich and powerful California Zinfandel to spicy Oregon Pinot Noir, and from full-bodied Washington Merlot to aromatic New York Riesling, the wines of the United States are nearly as diverse as its population. People have been making wine in North America from European vitis vinifera vines since the first French settlers arrived in the 1500s. Progress stalled along the way by pests and diseases that the vine had never encountered in its homelands, but today wine is produced in all 50 states. With more than 260 AVAs to discover, each with its unique climate and landscape, wines of the United States have much to offer.
