Three Year Vertical Brigden Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon
www.owlridgews.com
Owl Ridge has won 18 gold medals in the last year at major competitions, including two ?Best of Class? awards. All wines are small production and limited release. Joe Otos is the winemaker.
You?ll receive two bottles each of the 2007, 2008 and 2009 Cabernet Sauvignon, Brigden Vineyard. The 2007 is owner John Tracy?s favorite and he kept a couple pallets for himself. The 2009 is not available for sale. The Brigden Vineyard has been sold so the 2011vintage will be Owl Ridges last from this vineyard.
Brigden Vineyard is located on Spring Mountain on the Napa/Sonoma border, where the clusters enjoy afternoon winds and warm nights. It's the kind of exposure that creates uber-expressive fruit capable of making world-class wines.
The wines have a classic Spring Mountain floral character with intense blueberry-like fruit, with highlights of chocolate and anise. This wine is a great balance between the two counties, bringing forward the fruit and aromas of Sonoma Cabernets while offering the dark tones and structure of some of the more balanced Napa Cabernets. While they are enjoyable now, the wines will cellar well for many years.
