(1) 750ml 2007 Silverado, Estate, Cabernet Sauvignon The 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon is a gorgeous example of elegance allied to power. The final blend of 85% Cabernet Sauvignon and the rest Merlot, Petit Verdot, and Cabernet Franc offers up notes of crushed rock, spring flowers, red and black currants, and plum as well as hints of white chocolate and subtle barrique smells. Medium to full-bodied, with a nicely layered mouth feel that builds incrementally, the wine has superb purity as well as accessability. It can be drunk now or cellared for 15 or more years. WA 92 (1) 750ml 2009 Stags Leap Cellars, Artemis
This wine is from United States, California region, Napa County sub-region and Napa Valley appellation. Our Napa Valley collection of wines is crafted with the same approach to winemaking as our limited-production estate wines, resulting in wines of supple power and elegance. In fact, fruit from our estate vineyards provides the stylistic inspiration for this wine. ARTEMIS, named after the Greek goddess of the hunt, provides a strong link to the origin, style, and character of our renowned estate wines.. The heart of the Artemis blend is composed of fruit from our estate vineyards. Cabernet Sauvignon from Arcadia Vineyard gives the wine tannin and structural support. Fay contributes a generous perfume, while the wine's complexity and concentration benefit from a small but
significant addition of S.L.V. fruit. Then, to complement our estate fruit's distinctive qualities of flavor and structure, we turn to independent Napa Valley growers whose vineyards meet our rigorous farming standards. Cabernet Sauvignon Wines. Earthy, with a mulchy edge to the tobacco leaf, dried herb and berry flavors. Retains dryness through the finish. Drink now through 2018.

(1) 750 ml 2005 Gundlach Bundschu‐ Napa ‐ CS The 2005 season provided wine grapes of exceptional quality to those who were vigilant about tending their vines. A cool and unseasonably wet spring and early summer led to excessive vine growth, so we made numerous passes through the vineyard to remove leaves in order to keep the plants in balance with respect to fruit and foliage. Mild daytime temperatures through harvest created the optimum environment for flavor and aroma compounds to develop, and warm nighttime temperatures promoted tannin maturity, making for a vintage of very promising wine quality. Complex aromas of blackberry, cassis and a trace of grilled meat lead to a lush, smooth entry. Broad, rich tannins frame lush flavors of black currant and draw the velvety mouth feel into a long finish of dark cocoa and sweet espresso. Delicious upon release; optimal cellaring time two to 15 years
(1) 750 ml 2006 Gundlach Bundschu‐ Napa ‐ CS The 2006 growing season got off to a late, wet start on Rhinefarm, with bud break beginning at the end of March and generous rainfall late into the spring. High soil moisture going into the growth period allowed the vines to develop large canopies that required vigilant taming to maintain ideal fruit‐to‐canopy ratios. A record‐breaking heat wave in July helped put an end to vegetative growth and spurred the vines onto the business of ripening fruit. The harvest period was nearly perfect, and so in the end the fruit attained excellent phenolic maturity as well as nicely developed varietal characters. Dark purple color, aromas of violet, anise and lifted red and black currant. The lush, smooth entry leads to dark berry, cassis, shaved chocolate and espresso bean flavors. Big, smooth tannins give weight and roundness to the mouth feel. The long finish is smooth with balancing notes of red fruit. Delicious upon release; optimal cellaring time 4 to 15 years.
(1) 750 ml 2007 Gundlach Bundschu‐ Napa ‐ CS Generous on varietal concentration; stingy on yields. This sums up the outcome of the 2007 growing season and vintage. There was relatively early initiation of bud break which was followed by nearly perfect, mild climatic conditions throughout most of the season. This mild weather was especially welcomed since winter rainfall was nearly half of normal and so any big heat spikes in the spring or summer would put a lot of strain on water needs. The most pronounced characteristic of the season is small berry size. While leading to short yields, this has led to wines of astounding concentration and expression. Intense aromas of black currant and blueberry, laced with vanilla. The lush entry fills the mouth with rich flavors of dark berry, cassis and ultra dark chocolate. Big, smooth tannins give weight and roundness to the mouth feel. Concentrated berry and anise flavors linger through the exceptionally long finish. Delicious upon release; optimal cellaring time 4 to 15 years.
