Laureate Reserve 2015

 

LAUREATE RESERVE

The grapes for our RESERVE LAUREATE were planted as a field blend and grown at Simboli vineyard in Napa Valley by a Nobel Prize winner. We also blended in luscious Atlas Peak Cabernet Sauvignon grapes to create this exceptional blend of the best fruit that the Napa Valley has to offer. Wow! That is what you expect with your first sniff of this wine. Cherry pie! With an explosion of flavors and mouth coating richness from your first sip. The wild berry fruit is concentrated, juicy and takes center stage, but there were also touches of spice with toasty oak aromas and flavors. No shortage of complexity but strikingly open and accessible thanks to well-integrated silky tannins. Dark berry, cassis and violet flavors with pepper and herb notes provide additional complexity. A rich mouthfeel builds with a long, lingering and layered finish.

Cabernet Sauvignon 93%, Zinfandel 3%, Merlot 2%, Petit Verdot 2%
