5 cases produced
Description
The 2009 Keever Vineyards Estate Cabernet
Sauvignon is a quintessentially elegant Napa
Cabernet. This lot is the BEST of OUR BEST
and you deserve to own it! The tannins were
ripe at harvest, so it is approachable (and
scrumptious) early on, but has the structure
to live a long and very delicious life. Our
rocky hillsides on the west side of the valley
just south of Yountville produce outstanding
fruit and we have narrowed in on the best
part of the vineyard for this very special lot.
Yet again, Barbour Vineyards and Celia Welch
rock! Partake and enjoy!

Winemaking Philosophy:
Much has been said about "terroir" over the last two decades, but exactly how to capture the flavors of a specific vineyard often proves a tricky balance. Harvesting on that perfectly-sharpened knife-edge between underripe (firmer tannins, less aromatic intensity) and overripe (jammy, dark, sweet fruit, but not site-specific) requires not only tremendous patience, but also a level of attention in the vineyard as well as in the winery.
My philosophy of winemaking involves developing gorgeous, full, complex and elegant wines that speak of a certain corner of Napa Valley. They sit gracefully at your table and compliment your cooking. They recall memories of a season and share those with you. They enchant you.
