 Goldschmidt Vineyard 2000 Single
Vineyard Selection Cabernet Sauvignon, Vyborny Vineyard, Alexander
Valley
The 2000 Cabernet Sauvignon is the
second release in a program designed to showcase single vineyard source
wines from both the Alexander and Napa Valley appellations. The goal is
to create wines that highlight the distinct characters, benefits and
attributes derived from these site specific harvests. Goldschmidt
Vineyard Cabernets are crafted with the best possible resources to
achieve exceptional richness, quality and balance - the hallmarks of
world-class wines.
"Great
vineyards are naturally balanced, produce smaller than average size
berries and produce vines that expose the cluster to the sun uniformly
in each vintage. Our site is unique in that it allows for a very long
hang time between flowering and harvest. It allows the vine to maximize
flavor and tannin development leading to a very rich, and yet supple,
wine. The 2000 vintage was classic in that we had a very long period of
warm dry weather well into September, when the grapes were harvested."
- Nick Goldschmidt, Winemaker
Critical Praise For Our First

1999 Cabernet Sauvignon

"Smooth, rich and creamy, with intense anise,
chocolate, currant, sage and mocha flavors that
spread across the palate. Gains intensity and
depth with aeration, finishing with firm tannins." |
