Detailed Description
The 2008 OV sports an inky black color. The nose also reveals this dark density. Cabernet Franc driven aromas of violets and black truffle provide complex counterpoint to black cherry and boysenberry. A deep brambly liqueur-like character dominates the palate, while the nearly 15% Petit Verdot adds white pepper, cocoa powder and ample tannin structure.
Producer Information
Futo Wines was established in 2002 by Tom and Kyle Futo of Wichita, Kansas. The Futo estate vineyards and winery are located in the western foothills of the Oakville appellation. There are five distinct estate vineyard blocks that span more than half a mile along the hillside. Cabernet Sauvignon is the predominating varietal, though several acres consist of Cabernet Franc, as well as a bit of Merlot and Petit Verdot. Since 2005, the best fruit from the estate is vinified, culminating in a wine they simply call “Futo.”
