Description
This is the type of wine that made Napa
Valley famous! This Cabernet blend shows
the ripeness of the 2009 vintage. Rich and
luscious, but still showing finesse, round and
well-structured with a clean, long finish—
this wine is surely a crowd pleaser. Stacey
and Bob Bressler love wine and work with
winemaker Mia Klein to produce wines that
showcase the terroir and can be enjoyed with
food or sipped alone. For this blend, we were
able incorporate our Petit Verdot, which is
beautifully rich and fragrant and adds
complexity.

After receiving her degree in Enology from U.C. Davis, Mia worked her way up from the cellar, starting on the night shift at Chappellet under the tutelage of Cathy Corison, before moving on to Robert Pepi Winery. She then left the world of regular employment to work with Tony Soter as a consulting winemaker for Spottswoode Estate Vineyard & Winery, Araujo and Viader. Later, Mia won acclaim as winemaker for Dalla Valle Vineyards. Mia now makes wine for her own small label, Selene,and three small, super-premium producers, including Bressler Vineyards.
