Impassable Mountain Reserve 2018
Impassable Mountain Reserve
Impassable Mountain Reserve
Complex blackberry with fine oak chocolate.
In the glass, the Immortal Estate Impassable Mountain Reserve appears in a deep, impenetrable ruby red with garnet reflections. The rich, intense play of colors speaks for a high concentration and remarkable maturity. Dense streaks indicate structure and a high alcohol content.
A complex bouquet unfolds on the nose: vanilla and fine oak notes on the surface, underlined by chocolate and blackberry. Nuances of leather, earthy notes and a subtle mint note give the wine an impressive complexity and depth that lingers in the glass for a long time.
This wine is powerful and tannic on the palate, with a silky texture and elegant structure. The dense fruit is accompanied by a pleasant, present acidity that harmoniously supports the aromas of black fruit and chocolate and leads into a long, velvety finish.
This Californian Cabernet Sauvignon is the result of careful hand-picking and a long maturation process in oak barrels. The complex interplay of terroir, vinification and maturation time gives it an extraordinary depth and balance - a real treasure for lovers of full-bodied wines.
Most exclusive luxury wines with 100 points from the wild Californian mountains.
Juan Servin has been working in the windy heights of the Mayacama Mountains for decades. In an environment where workers give up or stop coming to work because the gradient of over 55 degrees and the 1000 meters of altitude are taking their toll. Here Juan looks after "his vineyard", his family, and defends it against forest fires, wild animals and drought. He himself doesn't drink wine. But Robert Parker does.
People find bottles of good wine on the sea floor that last for decades and centuries. A bottle of wine is therefore like an almost immortal testimony to time, a snapshot of a region. The wine from these vineyards is such a wine. “This wine is almost immortal. A legacy.” (Robert Parker, 100P., 2013).
What Robert Parker discovered as a real insider tip from Sonoma was soon celebrated as a worldwide sensation . Back in the 1990s, winemakers A. Hofacket and T. Milos laid the foundation for the almost 60ha Hidden Ridge Vineyards, which have since become known under the rebranding Immortal Estate , the winery with the immortal jellyfish on the label. Timothy Milos is the genius behind the wines and now brings over 20 years of experience with these very vines into the bottle. After years of hard work, he pulled off a coup in 2013: he produced his first 100-Parker-point wine. After that, Robert Parker retired.
“Once is not enough - the trick is to be consistent in your results,” says owner Daniel Nichols. And Immortal Estate has held its own: since the 2013 vintage, all Impassable wines have consistently been above 97 points and all Slope wines have consistently been above 93 points. The 2016 vintage was another coup: 100 points! Robert Paker's successor, Jeb Dunnuck, awarded the highest score and spoke of pure perfection.
The goal is to produce immortal luxury wines in small quantities with an extremely long drinking maturity.
These wines are absolute treasures, whose aromas and value will continue to multiply over the next 20-30 years. Impassable Mountain Reserve & Slope 2016 - now exclusively for Europe at Vioneers.
