Description

This wine displays the elegance of Napa Valley
terroir through the fruit of exceptional estate
vineyards from several appellations within the
Vaca Mountain Range: 75% Cabernet Franc
(Suscol Springs Estate Vineyard), 5% Cabernet
Sauvignon (Dancing Bear Ranch on Howell
Mountain), 10% Merlot (Dancing Bear Ranch
on Howell Mountain), and 10% Syrah
(Carneros). Blended from 100% 2009 vintage,
it will be aged for 23 months in 50% new
French oak barrels. Accentuated aromatics of
blackberry, blueberry and mocha are highlighted
with violets. Flavors of blackberry,
black cherry and fresh plums show finely
textured tannins, depth of fruit concentration
and fresh acidity for balanced perfection.

Winemaker, Cakebread Cellars

Winemaker, Julianne Laks

I started college studying chemistry, then when my family moved to the Napa Valley and I fell in love with the wine industry. My father worked as a winery engineer for Robert Mondavi Winery, and he enlightened me with winery design and layout for energy conservation. I was fortunate to work with Myron Nightingale, where I learned the fine art of blending.

Country born: United States

Education: BS in Fermentation Science UCD; worked alongside Myron Nightingale with great appreciation for his sensory skills and humorous view of life; I briefly got to know Andre Tschelicheff while working at Beaulieu Vineyard and admired his passion for great wine and his intimate knowledge of the vineyards.

Years in the wine industry: 30+ years

Winemaking Philosophy:
Showcase the best fruit in Napa Valley, and don't cover it up. Let the vineyard speak through the wine.
