Winemaker's Notes:

 "So ripe, it's gooey in currant, cocoa and cassis flavors that have been lavishly oaked. This is a soft, smooth wine, with velvety tannins, and has plenty of complexity and nuance."
-Wine Enthusiast

This wine gives up perfumed and intense ripe red berry notes on the nose, with a soft and broad entry, a dense structure and a rich full body. It represents the heart and soul of the Clos Pegase Cabernet Sauvignon Vineyards.

About Clos Pegase:

 Completed in 1987, Clos Pegase was designed to be a temple to wine on a 47 acre Calistoga vineyard. The winery has a total of 450 acres, mostly located in Carneros. The Clos Pegase label features Pegasus, painted circa 1890 by the French artist Redon. This painting is winery owner Jan Shrem's favorite work of art from his extensive private collection.
