Goldschmidt Vineyard 1999 Single Vineyard Selection Cabernet Sauvignon, Vyborny Vineyard, Alexander Valley

The 1999 Cabernet Sauvignon is the first release in a program designed to showcase single vineyard source wines from both the Alexander and Napa Valley appellation's. 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 normally 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 1999 vintage was classic in that we had a very long period of warm dry weather well into October, when the grapes were harvested."
- Yolyn Goldschmidt, Proprietor

Critical Praise For Our 1999 Cabernet Sauvignon "92" points - Wine Spectator "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."
