Vintner Notes: 2007 Vintage
September 23rd, 2009
The much anticipated 2007 vintage is here! We had the perfect combination of weather for growing Napa Valley Cabernet. early spring rains, combined with perfect summer days gave us good heat during the day and nice cool nights. This was followed by a warm extended fall growing season which allowed us to get great ripe flavors and superb tannin maturity in the fruit. Our 2007 is an exceptionally structured pure wine with silky smooth tannins, dense, opulent rich fruit, that shows a beautiful mid palate and a long finish.

Winemaker Notes: 2006
October 10th, 2008
2006 was an exceptional year. The season was longer and cooler than previous vintages. We left our grapes on the vines for an extended period throughout the fall, in order for them to reach peak physiological ripeness. The Indian Summer provided us with perfect conditions for tannin development, and once again we have opted to age the wine in barrel for longer than 24 months in new French Oak barriques, which has resulted in a wine of silky smooth tannins, and a fat opulent mid-palate. I believe this is our best wine yet.
