Item Description

A Bottle of 2008 Clos Pegase Hommage Cabernet Sauvignon,
Napa Valley 750ml, 1.5L (92 Rating Wine Enthusiast)

This wine is another rewarding Cabernet from a winery with a great track record over the years. Blended with some Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, it’s dry and ultrasmooth, and while the tannins are thick, they’re sweet and ripe.

Why You'll Love It

Our 2008 Hommage Cabernet Sauvignon shows complex and enticing aromas of black cherry, French plums and blackberries enhanced by nuances of black licorice, baker’s spices and subtle toasty oak.

About the Label Art

Our label pays homage to Hungarian artist Victor Vasarely (1906 - 1997) with Geometric Composition from 1952. Vasarely developed a unique style where the underlying substance of the natural world took the form of abstract lines and geometric shapes.

Estate-Grown Grapes

Grapes came from our Tenma Vineyard in the foothills of Mount St. Helena northeast of the town of Calistoga. The rocky terrain here pairs perfectly with Napa Valley’s climate to grow world-class Cabernet Sauvignon.

Item Special Note

THE WINEMAKING APPROACH at Clos Pegase has been consistent since Jan Shrem founded the winery in 1984. The focus is on wines that are harmonious in every way, expressing the terrior of the estate vineyard where the grapes were grown. Careful crafting is used to accentuate the intricate delicacy of fruit rather than hide it behind overbearing winemaking techniques. We consider Clos Pegase to be in the tradition of the classic Napa style where wine balances with food in an elegant way.

Richard Sowalsky has been the Winemaker at Clos Pegase since 2010. Richard relies on extensive winemaking experience and a diverse educational background that includes enology, medicine, and the culinary arts to create estate wines of the highest quality
