| Production: 9,008 cases;
Alcohol: 14.6%; Blend: 100% Cabernet Sauvignon; Harvest Dates:
September 10 to October 24. The 2007 Private Reserve is composed of
34% Bancroft Ranch, 33% Steinhauer Ranch, 8% Chabot Vineyard, 8%
Lampyridae, and the remainder from St. Helena Home Vineyard,
Marston Ranch and Rancho del Oso fruit. A mild spring and summer
with only a handful of heat spikes was followed by beautiful
weather in September and October. One of the finest Private
Reserves made over the last two decades, this phenomenal wine is
obviously still an infant in terms of development, but it exhibits
a dense purple color as well as an extraordinary nose of
blackberries, white chocolate, licorice, tobacco leaf, smoky
barbecue, charcoal and a burning ember-like note reminiscent of a
Graves from Bordeaux. A dense, luscious, full-bodied, opulent
style, with sweet tannin, this locked and loaded, intense, full
throttle Private Reserve should be accessible in 5-6 years and last
for 25-30. |
