The 2007 delivers an abundance of red fruit aromas. Youthful but well-developed tannins coat the palate and shape the wine. The 2007 is approachable now, but will reward cellaring. In its youth, decant for 1-2 hours to fully open the many layers of this wine.

Winemaker’s Comments

Cranberry, cherry and strawberry mingle with sweet spices and a hint of molasses for a nicely layered introduction to the wine. On the palate, red and black fruit combine with nuances of cola, chocolate and an intriguing note of dry herb.

Additional Notes

The 2007 vintage began with a warm winter and dry spring that gave us only 50% of our normal rainfall. Budbreak occurred in early to mid-March, more than a month earlier than 2006. Bloom took place in mid-April. Summer temperatures were moderate with no heat spikes until mid-August. The 2007 vintage marked the first year of a several-year drought in Napa Valley. The positive result of less rainfall is the concentration of aromas and flavors in wines from this acclaimed vintage.
