Description
Our 2009 Professor Pey Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon lot was inspired by too many years in college studying science and French. Its core of Rutherford Cabernet Sauvignon means it is classically structured, tastes great in quiet paneled libraries and is ready to earn an “A” grade from even the most intellectual of fine wine connoisseurs. It’s OK to be the teacher’s pet—just make sure you do your homework and bid often for this unique lot!
Aging Process
Hand picked, hand sorted, gentle press, matured in small new French oak for 14 months. Hand made all the way through.
Wine Facts
- pH: 3.65
