Goldschmidt Vineyard 2005 Single Vineyard Selection Cabernet Sauvignon, Vyborny Vineyard, Alexander Valley

Purchase

Goldschmidt Vyborny Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon comes from a
remarkable 5 acre site that is on a Northeastern slope in the southern region of the renowned Alexander Valley. The vineyard is situated on a terraced knoll, just east of the town of Geyserville and is comprised primarily of a gravelly loam soil. The slope direction provides excellent exposure of the grape clusters and allows for long "hang time". This provides us with perfectly formed bunches of grapes that possess optimal ripeness and fully developed varietal character. The unique combination of exposure, soil conditions, drainage, and mature vines, produces wines of rich, concentrated flavors that showcase the true character of the region, the vineyard and the varietal.

Our goal is to highlight the special characters of this noble varietal while showcasing the distinct benefits and attributes associated with this magnificent vineyard site. The Goldschmidt Vineyard Vyborny Cabernet is a full bodied wine with supple tannins, luxurious texture, and a lengthy finish. Goldschmidt Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon is hand crafted, utilizing the best possible resources available. The wine is exceptional; with the richness and balance that are the hallmarks of world class wines.

"After 23 years of vintages these wines are the most important wines that I make. As you know I make many millions of cases of wine but these two wines, Goldschmidt and Forefathers, are wines that I help pick, pump over, shovel out, barrel fill, barrel rack and bottle. I am hands on all the way. I leave no stone unturned in the execution of these wines. I don't get to truly do that anywhere but here. These vineyards I work with are really special as well. You have to see them to believe them. I have made wines from these two vineyards now for 15 years and know them well. The 2005 is quite different to the 2004 vintage; the 2005 to me is more about the "hands off" or a concept that I use "nature's helper". The wine shows true unfined and unfiltered characters, more so than I have seen in the past. A real wine of the place."
