Goldschmidt Vineyard 2004 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 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.

"We had a tough decision to make with the 2003 vintage of Cabernet that we harvest from our vineyard sites in the Alexander Valley and in Napa. While still great, we felt that with the erratic growing season the balance of the fruit was not up to the high standards that we set for ourselves when we launched the Goldschmidt Vineyard Cabernet label back in 1999. So, for that reason we decided not to produce the Goldschmidt Vineyard Cabernets in the 2003 vintage. The 2004 vintage was especially good to us and we felt that the balance and structure of the fruit was again worthy of the Goldschmidt Vineyard label. 2004 was one of the best vintages for rich tannins and power. It was also one of the shortest growing seasons on record and the fruit responded beautifully to the growing conditions."
