2014 | Futo | 5500 (Magnum)

Spectacular aromas of blackcurrants and flowers such as violets. Bark and tea. Full body and firm and silky tannins. Excellent structure. Minerals, stones and plenty of cement character. Very long and intense.

Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: The 2014 Futo 5500 is 95% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Merlot. This is an incredibly sexy, broad, voluptuous and flattering style of wine, with an inky purple color and a big, sweet kiss of spring flowers intermixed with blueberry and black raspberry as well as some cassis. It has a full-bodied palate, but a wonderful lightness of being as it cascades with its fruit, glycerin and purity across the taster’s mouth This is a gorgeously proportioned, remarkable wine.

• Vinous: Futo's 2014 5500 is dark, powerful and imposing, with plenty of youthful tannins and tons of intensity. A host of crushed rocks, menthol, lavender, smoke, crème de cassis and inky blue/purplish fruit give the 2014 much of its personality. Vibrant and structured to the core, the 2014 is riveting today. Here, too, the oak has integrated very well. The 2014 is a powerful, explosive wine endowed with real personality. It is also one of the wines of the vintage.

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."
