2009 Cabernet Sauvignon
Napa Valley
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.
