Jericho Canyon Vineyard Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2007

A fantastic small-production Napa Valley Cabernet. One of our favorite 2007 Cabernets.93 Points Robert Parker: "The real deal. Super-ripe but with impressive underlying acidity and structure, the wine has notes of charcoal, roasted herbs, tapenade, black currant, licorice, and camphor. It is deep, full-bodied, rich, with good acidity and sweet tannin. Drink it over the next 10-15 years. This source for Cabernet Sauvignon was made famous by well-known wine consultant and winemaker David Ramey when he was sourcing fruit from this site. They now estate-bottle their own wines, and this is a cuvee of around 400 cases made from 76% Cabernet Sauvignon and the rest Merlot and Cabernet Franc." The Jericho Canyon Vineyard 2007 Proprietary Red two-thirds Cabernet Sauvignon and one-third Merlot, and a tiny dollop of Cabernet Franc), comes from a vineyard northeast of Calistoga owned by Jericho Canyon Vineyards and the wine is made by famed winemaker David Ramey. Winemaker Aaron Pott puts it best:  "Jericho Canyon is poised to become one of the great estates of Napa Valley. It is a dragon slumbering in its cave atop a horde of treasure that is about to be awakened and unleashed."
