Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

This Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cab Franc, Petit Verdot blend was aged in French oak for over 24 months. The alluring bouquet of blackberry, dark chocolate, bing cherry, cassis and cinnamon climb from the dense color in the glass to your nose. The flavor follows true to the aromas. Incredible concentration of ripe fruit with a seamless finish. Bold yet elegant, this Bordeaux styled blend is both approachable and cellar-worthy!

Professional Ratings

  • 88
    The 2006 Proprietary Red exhibits soft, slightly herbaceous, red, blue, and black fruits intermixed with notions of licorice and underbrush. Consume it over the next 4-5 years.

Bridesmaid, California
For years, Pam Starr (Crocker & Starr, Adastra) and Drew Neiman (Kongsgaard and Arietta) have been crafting exceptional wines under their own labels and for others. Now they have joined together to produce a deliciously fun and rewarding negotiant project known simply as Bridesmaid. Both wines are a blend of barrels from their own projects and from an enviable "group of friends" who shall remain anonymous, but are all stellar in stature. While the old adage goes "always a bridesmaid and never a bride" these wines are blends of extreme high quality and it is our good fortune that they are released at prices only a fraction of their predestined counterparts.

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.
