Ehlers Estate One Twenty Over Eighty 2008

This Bordeaux-style blend is a great example of the heights to which Napa Valley benchland Cabernet can rise. The wine is full-bodied, plush and juicy. Flavors of cocoa, cherry cola, raspberry, roasted coffee, and toasted coconut. The muscles always present in our Ehlers Cabernet are delicately massaged with the addition of 4% Merlot and 4% Cabernet Franc, producing a wine with a big, bold, yet soft and compelling tanin quality. The name, One Twenty Over Eighty, is the "ideal" blood pressure and is a playful reminder of our unique ownership, who is dedicated to supporting cardiovascular research around the globe. This wine shows great structure and balance and is a classic Cabernet from a classic terroir.
