Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2015 Asterisk comes charging out of the gate with exuberant black and red cherries, warm cassis and raspberry pie scents plus hints of cigar box, Indian spices, rose hip tea and charcuterie with a faint waft of dusty soil. Full-bodied and firmly textured, with bags of red and black fruits, the palate is laced with loads of spicy accents, and it finishes long and perfumed.
Distillery Information
Sloan Estate is a wine producer covering 16 hectares (40 acres) of Rutherford hillside in the Napa Valley. It produces just two wines, both from the classic Bordeaux blend – the flagship estate wine and the second wine, Asterisk. The estate encompasses 5ha (13 acres) of land that was originally planted to vine in 1997. This land reaches as much as 990 feet (300m) above sea level in the foothills of the Mayacama mountain range. Here, well-drained volcanic rock and sandy loam soils dominate. This, combined with cool ocean breezes, descending fog and plentiful amounts of sunshine during the growing season, results in an ideal terroir for the Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot that is planted here. Grapes are hand-picked inthe vineyard, and upon arrival in the winery are left to soak for up to seven days prior to fermentation. Both oak barrels and tanks are sourced for fermentation with extended maceration lasting from 45 to 60 days, depending on the vintage. The estate was run by Stuart Sloan until 2011, when it was purchased by the Pan family. Each year, a majority of the Sloan vintage is release to members through an allocation list.
