Vineyard 7 & 8 (Seven and Eight) Premiere Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2007

A fantastic boutique Caberent from Spring Mountain and winemaker Luc Morlet - Limited. 94 + Robert Parker:  "The prodigious 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate looks terrific, with the most structure, minerality, and power of the two Cabernets, but beautiful blueberry and floral notes intermixed with camphor, creme de cassis, licorice, and forest floor. Full-bodied, with terrific texture, sweet tannin, and fabulous length and concentration, this is a wine to drink young or cellar for 25 more years. These are very impressive wines. None other than the well-known Luc Morlet makes the wines at this winery on Spring Mountain."95 Points Wine & Spirits:  "This wine grows at the Steffens family’s ten-acre cabernet vineyard, planted on Spring Mountain in the early 1980s. It emphasizes the high elevation and volcanic soils of the site in its powerful mountain-grown tannin, ferrous in its tension and strength. There’s supple fruit underneath, completely filling that structure with substance and style; the wine is built for collectors willing to cellar it for ten or 12 years, when the elegance of that fruit will begin to supersede the tannic power. This is Luc Morlet’s first vintage as winemaker at Vineyard 7 & 8 (prior to that, he was best known for his work at Peter Michael Winery, where he continues to consult)."
