2007 Yountville Estate Cabernet Sauvignon

Podcast: Play in new window | Download
New release: What a vintage! As Geoff, our Winemaker, says “On a year like this, the best thing for me to do is try to stay out of the way and let the fruit do the talking.”
A spring, summer and fall of warm, sunny days and cool, foggy nights adds up to ripe, luscious fruit flavors, impeccable balance and unmistakable Cabernet character spilling out of the glass. Our staff tasting yielded this consensus: “Very berry!” Our 2007 Estate Cabernet is loaded with boysenberry, raspberry and black cherry with a nice touch of cocoa, toasty oak and spice.
Cabernet Sauvignon and food: The deep flavors of slow-cooked dishes like osso-buco or short ribs are wonderful partners for the complexity of the Cabernet. Or, try it with juicy, grilled lamb or Portobello mushrooms. Of course, there’s nothing like the Cab with a good steak. From our recipe collection we recommend the easy to make and delicious Colleen’s Flank Steak With Cabernet.

New release! When you crave deep, dark intensity this is the wine for you! Thick skinned and loaded with pigment, Syrah was born to make a statement!
It’s such a pleasure to begin releasing our reds from the 2007 vintage. It was about as close to a textbook growing season as we could hope for.
What does a good year mean to you? Rich, concentrated flavors, beautiful balance and varietal character spilling out of the glass. Our 2007 Napa Valley Syrah is loaded with bold black plum, ripe cherry, dried herbs, cocoa and toasty vanilla-oak.
Syrah and food: Our Syrah partners well with rustic fare like beef stew, wild game, grilled sausages or slow-cooked dishes. Mediterranean dishes are a natural for this native of southern France. Savoring a glass of the Syrah with Colleen’s recipe for Mediterranean Pork Tenderloin is the next best thing to an evening in Provence. Bon appétit!
