:Wine Rating
:Wine Type
Big Bodied, full middle with achocolate raspberry finish. An homage to the great Bordeaux's 65% cab, 25% cabernet franc, 5% petit verdot & merlot. Color : Pigeon blood, dark ruby red Aroma: Cedar, blackberry, allspice, pepper, leather Taste: Full-bodied, big middle, with chocolate, bing cherry, some spice, good balance between fruit, oak and acid. Medium finish, long after taste. The Year: Napa Valley began with the 21st century providing a virtually picture perfect growing season. The almost uneventful spring and summer weather pattern, every grower's dream, produced exceptional quality fruit with substantial yields. The light rain in September gave the grapes the extra kick to keep hanging and ripening. This additional hang time allowed the full natural flavors of the fruit to develop on the vine. The result was a crop of fruit typical of what has helped make Napa Valley famous; one with excellent color, fully developed flavors and great acidity. Harvest: October 11, 2000 – October 24, 2000 Brix 22.9 pH 3.72 TA 0.59 Aged: 19 months in French oak 225 liter cooperage - 90% new French oak Bottled: July, 2002 Released: October, 2003 Alcohol: 13.2% Varietal: 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Cabernet Franc, 7%Merlot, 3% Petite Verdot Appellation : 100% Napa Valley, California
