St Helena Cabernet Sauvignon 2007 1.5L

The St. Helena estate vineyards are comprised of 3 main vineyards - Gretch, McCarthy and Wheeler Farms - which are located just north of the winery. These vineyards are located on gravelly alluvial fan soil with excellent drainage, an essential component in high quality fruit development. The vines are less vigorous in this area of the Napa Valley, producing smaller berries and lower yields, for more concentrated, intense wines with good tannin structure. The wine is produced to showcase the terroir and distinct flavor characteristics of these vineyards.

Aromas of bright red fruit, rhubarb, and sandalwood permeate the glass, and pleasant notes of red licorice and orange pekoe tea complete the bouquet. The entry of this Cabernet is soft and silky, with flavors of black cherry and dark chocolate that broaden on the mid-palate and lead to a long, strong finish.
