Goldschmidt Vineyard 2002 Single Vineyard Selection Cabernet Sauvignon, Game Ranch, Oakville, Napa Valley

The 3 acre, Game Ranch Vineyard is situated in the famed Oakville appellation in the heart of the Napa Valley. Located on an old river bottom on the eastern bench of the Silverado Trail, the vineyard is made up of very rocky, well draining soils. In this stressful, low moisture environment, the vines struggle to put everything they can into the development of the fruit. With perfect control over the watering of this vineyard site we are able to coax the vines to produce grapes of great concentration and exceptional quality.

Our goal is to highlight the characters of this noble varietal while showcasing the distinct benefits and attributes associated with the vineyard site. The Goldschmidt Vineyard Oakville Cabernet is a full bodied wine with supple tannins that are balanced with power and weight. 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 16 years of making wine in the Napa Valley, I discovered this unusually boulder-filled site in the middle of the Oakville region. I was completely blown away at the opportunity to make wines from this unique vineyard. The 25 year old vines produce a modest harvest with very small berries and a growing season that allows for long hang time and maximum flavor development. This is our second vintage from the Game Ranch Vineyard and the wine is really quite special; full bodied with supple tannins, balanced with power and weight - reminiscent of the great estates around the world."
- Nick Goldschmidt, Winemaker
