Our 2007 Sonoma County Cabernet Sauvignon is truly a cornucopia of the best varietals, vineyard sites and coopers. We take you on a tour of Sonoma County with Cabernet Sauvignon from Alexander Valley and Sonoma Valley and blending varietals from our own Chambers Vineyard. Our winemakers finished the blend with a touch of Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot to make a perfectly balanced wine with structure and body yet a supple feel on the palate. Finally we’ve utilized three French coopers and selected the finest barrels in which to age this wine.
22 months in French Oak offer sweet vanilla aromas as well as baking and pie spices. Your palate is filled with luscious flavors of dark cherry, cocoa and sweet tobacco leaf. Firm tannins offer structure for years of aging but a silky mouth feel lends to perfect enjoyment today.
A perfectly seared and roasted Duck Breast with slow roasted winter root vegetables are worthy accompaniments to this amazing Cabernet.

When Mother Nature delivers such a small vintage, the resulting wines can be exceptionally tasty, as the lower yields often ripen much more evenly and with greater flavor development. Our 2008 Sonoma County Cabernet Sauvignon is our smallest bottling of Cabernet Sauvignon since our new team of winemakers arrived in 2004, and with its brilliant ruby color and a seductive ripe cherry nose, we believe this tiny vintage could be sold out before year end.
Harvested from two small cabernet sauvignon vineyards located in Dry Creek Valley and neighboring Alexander Valley, our winemakers finished this special blend with a touch of our estate Malbec and Petit Verdot from the Chambers Vineyards. From the moment it enters your glass to your final sip, the 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon lingers with round, supple tannins making it the perfect compliment for festive holiday meals.
A larger percentage of the finest new French oak barrels were used to age this wine for 21 months, giving it a well structured elegant finish. Lush, ripe tannins weave a dense tapestry of intense flavors that recall blackberry, violets, and sweet paprika.
While this wine is ready for enjoyment now, we believe this dark and dense vintage will more than earn its spot at the dinner table for years to come.
We recommend sharing this wine alongside good company and a bone-in ribeye steak… pass the potatoes please.
