This is a blend of Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon from the Shikon, Vineyard X and Stagecoach vineyards plus a small amount of Napa Valley Merlot. Shikon vineyard provides powerful, fruit aromatics while the Stagecoach vineyard provides excellent mid-palate and ageworthy refined tannic backbone. Vineyard X provides expressive, ripe fruit with an affinity for new oak aging. The wine is easily identifiable as a Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon due to the opaque ruby/black color and medium+ intensity nose of espresso, black olives, black and red currants, tobacco, plum, dark cherry, violets, blue berry and a hint of green leafiness. On the palate, the wine shows high acidity, medium+ length, medium+ fine-grained tannins with an pronounced intensity flavors of: black olive, espresso, black currant, white and black cracked pepper, tobacco, warm spices and an espresso red fruit finish. Analysis: Alcohol: 14.75% pH: 3.76 TA: 7.0 grams/liter Bottling Date: May 19, 2008 Release Date: June 28, 2008 Total Produced: 36 Cases

The wine is ready to drink now with the potential to age several years. The wine is best served with any of the following dishes: lamb, barbequed red meats, duck, prime rib and fatty aged cheeses.
