Item Description
Enjoy 2 Bottles of Cuvaison's finest...
Since 1969, Cuvaison Estate Wines has been hand-crafting classic and elegant Napa Valley wines. Their wines capture the uniqueness of Carneros and Mount Veeder estate vineyards and reflect the finest attributes of each vintage.
"My style and philosophy are based on expressing the unique character of our estate grapes and doing as little as possible to them. When one has such wonderful fruit to work with, that should be one’s emphasis.” - Steve Rogstad, Winemaker
Cuvaison Cabernet Sauvignon is sourced from their Estate owned vineyard, some 1,200 feet up the slopes of Napa Valleys Mt. Veeder. The schisty, gravelly, well-drained hillside soils severely restrict the yields, producing Lilliputian quantities of solid, jam-packed Cabernet backed by vibrant acidity and fine, mountain tannins. An exceptional site for Cabernet, the estate features well-drained, gravelly soils, a generally southern aspect and an elevation that keeps it, if wind swept, above the fog. The soil offers just enough loamy counterpoint to round out those tannins with time.
The outstanding 2007 Syrah offers smoky, gamy, meaty, lard, and bacon fat notes intermixed with blackberry and currant fruit aromas. This spicy, dense, richly fruity, supple Syrah is ideal for drinking over the next 3-4 years. (Robert Parker)
