Winemaker Notes
Most wine lovers will consider 2007 the best vintage of the decade; certainly, it surpasses 1997. Cain Five is a true reflection, of the 2007 vintage—balanced ripeness, richness, and concentration. 2007 was one of the rare vintages that worked just as well on the mountain tops—such as our Cain Vineyard—and on the valley floor in our beloved benchlands. This is because almost everything was perfect: the vines yielded neither too much nor too little, the weather was neither too hot nor too cool, the ripening occurred neither too early nor too late.
Blend: 68% Cabernet Sauvignon, 16% Merlot, 6% Malbec, 5% Petit Verdot, 5% Cabernet Franc

COMMENTARY: The 2007 CAIN FIVE Red Table wine is bright, vibrant, and racy. TASTING NOTES: This wine is wild with zesty red fruit aromas and flavors. Enjoy it with grilled, lightly-seasoned lamb chops. (Tasted: February 18, 2020, San Francisco, CA)

The Cain Vineyard site is truly spectacular, cradled in a bowl overlooking St. Helena from the top of the Spring Mountain District. In 1980, Joyce and Jerry Cain purchased part of the McCormick Ranch, a homestead dating back to the 1840's. The Cains were in search of a unique mountain property where they could realize their dream of planting the five classical Bordeaux varietals from which to draw one ideally structured wine, which would result as a blend of all five varieties. Jim and Nancy Meadlock joined the Cains in 1986, and in 1991 they purchased full ownership. The first Cain Five, the 1985 vintage was released in 1989. Cain produces four wines: Cain Five, Cain Cuvee, Cain Musque and Cain Concept.
