A blend of 85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Franc and 3% Petite Syrah.

The deep garnet color is the first indication of the wine's depth. Our 2007 wine exhibits aromas of raspberry, blackberry, mint and black cherries. Vanilla and short bread cookie notes from oak aging bring balance and frame the ripe berry flavors. Oak aging additionally adds breadth and weight on the palate. Napa Valley characteristics show thruogh with strawberries, red raspberries adn a faint root beer note with quintessential Oakville dark cherries. The tannins are fine and chalky. Finally, there is also a mineral/earthy note to the wine that contributes to the multi-layer characteristics of the wine. Supple, elegant and richly flavored in dark berries with a subtle note of oak; a classic Napa Valley wine.

Drink our 2007 Avalon Napa Valley Cabernet now or age it for the next few years and enjoy it as it continues to develop in the bottle.
