Vineyard Select
2009 Cabernet Sauvignon
Napa Valley
2009 Longfellow Cabernet Sauvignon Vineyard Select is a five-case lot hand selected from our already-miniscule production. This lot reflects the best that our two small vineyards—Frog Tree and Carpignano in Coombsville—have to offer. These vineyards are located in the southernmost part of Napa County, known for fogshrouded mornings and warm, gentle sun in the afternoons. The cooler growing season allows for maximum hang time and unbelievably lush and ripe fruit. This lushness makes this wine flashy and approachable young while maintaining the silky tannins and structure to age for a decade or more. Beautifully handcrafted by winemaker Rolando Herrera, this wine demonstrates the elegance and balance of all great Cabernets.
22 Months in a combination of new French and American oak (70% French / 30% American)
