JUSTIN Cabernet Sauvignon 2012, Paso Robles, CA 750ml

• Winemaker's Notes on JUSTIN Cabernet Sauvignon 2012
Clear with a medium ruby, purple core and light violet rim. With medium-plus intensity, it's a beautifully classic cabernet sauvignon mix of ripe blackcurrant, black and red cherries with vanilla, cedar, sweet tobacco, and licorice accents. : Medium-plus body with dark fruit of cassis and black cherry on the entry. Barrel notes of vanilla and cedar with savory black tea and herbal notes come through on the mid-palate. The finish is long and clean with lingering bright cherry and spice of sassafras and licorice, surrounded by smooth firm to medium tannins. A traditionally styled cabernet sauvignon in all respects.

Stags' Leap Cabernet Sauvignon 2007, Napa Valley, CA 750ml

Winemaker's Notes on Stags' Leap Cabernet Sauvignon 2007

90% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4% Petite Sirah, 4% Cabernet Franc, 2% Petit Verdot.

Cabernet has always been a mainstay in the winemaking program at Stags' Leap Winery. Our Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is a combination of estate fruit and grapes from select Napa Valley growers. Much of the estate vineyard is planted to Cabernet Sauvignon where deep, well-drained, loamy volcanic soils make this a perfect place to grow Cabernet. The fruit for this wine was hand-picked in small bins and each lot was fermented separately in a combination of open and closed top fermenters to maximize concentration and extraction in the finished wine. The wine was aged in 100 percent French oak barrels (50 percent new) for 24 months, and the final blend was assembled one year into the aging process to give the wine a chance to marry before bottling.

Vivid aromas of red and black fruit characteristically introduce the wine. The palate emphasizes balance, with firm, round tannins and a complex finish that features a variety of notes from leather, espresso and chocolate.

Pine Ridge Cabernet Sauvignon 2012, Napa Valley, CA 750ml

Winemaker's Notes on Pine Ridge Cabernet Sauvignon 2012

Swirling with layered aromas of fresh red raspberry, blackberry pie and ripe cassis, this deep ruby wine enraptures the senses with fragrant dried violet, gingersnap, dark cocoa and sweet basil impressions. Plush and exuberant, the palate opens with red cherry, juicy boysenberry and red plum fruits that intermingle with hints of cinnamon stick and graham cracker pie crust. The complex array of flavors lasts through the lingering finish, framed by velvety tannins and echoes of cherry cordial and roasted espresso bean.
