    Winemaker Notes

    The backbone of our 2008 Sangiovese comes from the Game Farm Vineyard in Oakville.The vineyard lies in dense, stony subsoil that mimics mountain growing conditions. It wasselected for its Brunello clone and shallow, rocky soil. In these soils, the Sangiovesestruggles to produce the highest quality grapes possible. The balance of the grapes weregrown in the heart of the Napa Valley. The 2008 harvest was nearly ideal with pickingbeginning earlier than average.

    Our 2008 Napa Valley Sangiovese is a deep garnet color. Perfumed aromas of raspberries,black cherries, lilacs, and rose petals come forward on the nose. The Merlot supports achewy currant core on the mid-palate, accented by chocolate and hints of sandalwood. Aninteresting mineral note appears on the back of the palate, and firm, silky tannins hold thewine together. The finish is a lush thirty second trail of perfectly ripe, Bing cherries.

    Undoubtedly proving its merit over and over, Napa Valley is a now a leading force in the world of prestigious red wine regions. Though Cabernet Sauvignon dominates Napa Valley, other red varieties certainly thrive here. Important but often overlooked include Merlot and other Bordeaux varieties well-regarded on their own as well as for their blending capacities. Very old vine Zinfandel represents an important historical stronghold for the region and Pinot noir is produced in the cooler southern parts, close to the San Pablo Bay.

    Perfectly situated running north to south, the valley acts as a corridor, pulling cool, moist air up from the San Pablo Bay in the evenings during the hot days of the growing season, which leads to even and slow grape ripening. Furthermore the valley claims over 100 soil variations including layers of volcanic, gravel, sand and silt—a combination excellent for world-class red wine production.
