Item Description

A Dynamic Duo from Herb Lamb Vineyards -- Benefiting Calistoga Family Center

• One 1.5 L 2007 Herb Lamb Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon
• One 750 ml 2007 Herb Lamb Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon

Just a mere 7 and a half acres of rocky hillside ranging from 600 to 800 feet in elevation, on the eastern hillsides of St. Helena just below Howell Mountain, produce the extremely limited Herb Lamb Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon. 

The selection of grapes for the ultra-premium HL Cabernet Sauvignon comes from only certain sections and rows, and by virtue of the small tonnage from this hillside vineyard, only 200 cases are produced each year. Even more limited are the five cases of large formats produced, which are only released for local charitable causes. The Herb Lamb wines are true ambassadors of the soil, climate and location, the grapes from this site delivering benchmark quality wines year after year.

The 2007 vintage in the Napa Valley was a vintage of perfection, and this wine is a true reflection of the ideal growing season - it is beautifully textured and perfectly structured, fruity and balanced, and seamless from start to finish.

Jennifer and Herb Lamb never started out to be grapegrowers and winemakers—but the pieces fell into place and today, the fruits of their labors are world class.  In Jennifer’s words, she is thrilled to share their passion and product of the land with us in this lovely donation.  The lucky winner of this lot is also entitled to a personal tour/tasting at the Lamb's idyllic hillside location.
