Wine Details
Price:
$59.00 per bottle
Description:
We have been lucky to be able to purchase fruit from the Vallerga family for nearly fifteen years now. Strong grower-winery relationships are integral in producing superlative wines. The vineyard is located at the base of Mt. Veeder in the Yountville AVA, stretching from the alluvial benchlands up to the foothills. The sparse soils are gravelly in nature and provide for wines that are full of dark fruits and intense minerality. Our 2002 Cabernet from the Vallerga Vineyard is one of the more concentrated and intense wines we have produced from the vineyard. Explosive flavors of cassis, vanilla, sage and black currant are balanced with vivid acidity and firm tannins. This is a wine that will certainly benefit from time in the cellar. For current consumption we recommend decanting or a thorough aeration in the glass for maximum enjoyment.
