Description
For Premiere Napa Valley, we offer a singlevineyard
blend of three blocks. 60% is
from the very rare Secret Clone Cabernet
Sauvignon and 40% is Clone 7 Cabernet
Sauvignon. Winemaker Mitch Cosentino
has used this vineyard for many prized
wines since 1999, and this is the latest.
This barrel was blended in late 2010,
whereas the rest of three lots that make up
this wine still remain as individual barrel
lots aged on their own. It is 100% Cabernet
Sauvignon with unique brightness, depth,
intensity and a slightly exotic character.
A wine not to miss!

Mitch Cosentino
Winemaker, PureCru Napa Valley
After 30 years of winemaking, Mitch Cosentino launched pureCru Napa Valley in 2008, a small producer of wines designed to accompany fine world cuisine. pureCru began as what Cosentino refers to as "a winemakers wine project" and has evolved into a venture that takes Cosentino back to his roots and some of the finest grape sources he has worked with over the years.
"I had been reminiscing about a small, hands-on entity where I could do it all myself again, like I did in the beginning," said Cosentino. He previously founded Cosentino Winery in 1980, although he is no longer involved there. Mitch currently consults for other small new Napa Valley producers who strive to attain high standing .
Country born: United States
Education: Bachelor of Arts degree in Broadcast Communications from California State University, Sacramento.
Years in the wine industry: 30+ years
Honors / Awards:
Winner of countless Sweepstakes and Best of Show Awards including the Andre Tchelistcheff Award for Winemaker of the Year
Winemaking Philosophy:
It my intent to make "real wine" thru time honored methods with proper aging and not thru the use of smoke and mirrors (and no flashy techniques). I expect every wine to be able to age and mature for many years if not decades, yet still drink very well upon release. I have a great library that proves it is more than possible.
