| Wine maker notes |
| Our 2008 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is a complex and layered expression of California Cabernet. The wine has a dark garnet color and is bursting with fruit even as it is poured. On the palate, it has an extraordinarily rich attack, a satin texture and an exuberant expression of fruit on the mid-palate that comes from picking grapes at the peak of their ripeness. Given proper cellaring, this wine should give drinking pleasure through 2032. |
| Technical notes |
| The 2008 vintage featured a dry spring with serious frost damage in some vineyards and cool bloom-time conditions which, coupled together, produced a light crop. It was a mild summer with a few heat spikes in July, August and early September. Harvest was about nine days earlier than normal due to the small crop and accelerated ripening from the warm temperatures. We started picking in Napa Valley on September 1st and concluded harvest on October 14th. |
