Item Description
Most people only have one breakout vintage, we've been lucky enough to have two. The 2010 represents a giant leap forward qualitatively for Casa Piena. Dialing in the perfect yield for the season while reacting early to the cool summer conditions allowed us to achieve true ripeness in a challenging year. The vintage valley wide is framed by acidity and that only adds to the traditional elegance of the Casa Piena site. The best wines from the property feature balance in several areas: fruit vs. tannin vs. acidity, savory vs. fruity elements, palate depth vs. breadth and palate weight/power vs. some of the more ethereal elements that contribute complexity to great wines. Every year what dictates this achievement changes. The Casa Piena wines have always been driven by the site and this might be the purest expression yet.
From its inception, Casa Piena has benefited from the vision and expertise of Carmen Policy, former president of the San Francisco 49ers. Recognized as a master team builder who helped to shape the fortunes of the five-time Super Bowl champion San Francisco 49ers, Carmen has applied his keen eye for talent to the task of establishing the Casa Piena team.
