Wine Spectator
Bold, rich, intense, ripe and creamy, with touches of espresso, mocha, dried currant, mineral, sage and cedar. Full-bodied and well-structured, ending with minerally, earthy tannins that give the flavors traction. Drink now through 2020.Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate
The inky/purple-tinged 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon Summit Vine Ranch possesses notes of incense, lead pencil shavings, blackberries, and blue fruits. While this cuvee is tannic, it has enough fruit, texture, and richness to balance out the tannin. Nevertheless, it is another backward wine that requires 3-5 years of bottle age, and should evolve for 20+ years.Additional Information

Cabernet SauvignonKing of the 'noble grapes,' Cabernet Sauvignon is used to produce some of the world's greatest wines. It thrives in warm climates like Napa Valley and Bordeaux, where the ripe fruit displays distinctive blackcurrant flavors and often a hint of mint or cedar. Cabernet Sauvignon produces highly tannic but well-rounded wines that are ideal for aging. It is often blended with Shiraz, Merlot and Cabernet Franc, with results ranging from medium-bodied to heavier, full-bodied wines. View all our additional Cabernet Sauvignon items

Napa ValleyAmerica’s equivalent of Bordeaux, Napa Valley is the most famous winegrowing region in the United States. Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay reign supreme in Napa Valley, but many of varietals are also grown successfully. Wines made from Napa Valley grapes vary greatly depending on the specific AVA or sub region where they are grown. Mount Veeder, Howell Mountain, Stag’s Leap, Oakville and Rutherford are a few acclaimed sub regions with their own distinct climactic and soil conditions. It is also the home of California “cult wines” like Screaming Eagle, Harlan Estate and Grace Family Vineyard.View all our items from Napa Valley

CaliforniaSince the famous Judgement of Paris in 1976 California wines have unquestionably ranked among the best in the world. From the Anderson Valley in the North through Temecula Valley in the South, California vineyards grow dozens of wine grape varietals that produce wines of many different styles. The California wine industry has steadily gained ground since the 1960s (the industry took a major hit following Prohibition), but its roots date back over 200 years. Major grape varietals include Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Zinfandel, Pinot Noir, Syrah and Sauvignon Blanc.View all our items from California
