{"product_id":"mason-cellars-pelissa-vineyard-oakville-cabernet-sauvignon","title":"Mason Cellars Pelissa Vineyard Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon","description":"\u003cp\u003eMason Cellars was founded in Oakville in 1993 by Randy and Megan Mason, and Randy, with more than four decades of Napa Valley winemaking behind him, still makes classically styled wines built on long-term grower relationships rather than flash. The Pelissa Vineyard Cabernet is the top of the range. Pelissa is a 60-acre Oakville vineyard planted to old BV Clone 7 Cabernet Sauvignon, named for Andrew and Babe Pelissa, who married in 1930 and made their home on what was then a dairy. The wine is 100% Pelissa fruit, hand-picked, cold-soaked three days, then aged about 20 months in medium-toast French oak, 25% new, landing near 14.9% ABV in 750ml. Expect red currant, fresh plum, dark chocolate and sweet earth, velvety tannins, a weighty mid-palate and a long espresso-tinged finish, calling it quintessentially Oakville from nose to finish. Critics agree: James Suckling gave the 2022 vintage 93 points, and Wine Spectator has scored recent releases 93 points, praising its burst of violet, anise, blackberry and mulberry with drinking windows into the late 2030s. Serve it with a dry-aged ribeye, roasted leg of lamb or short ribs.
