Attention all Cabernet lovers! (Wait, did I just say that?)
Check this one out. 2007 Cimarossa “Rive di Cimarossa” Howell Mountain Cabernet. This 100% estate-fruit Cab comes from vineyards planted in a natural amphitheater, at elevations of 2,100-2,400 feet, on Howell Mountain, in the Napa Valley. And, typical of Howell Mountain Cabernets, it has a firm structure to frame the delicious, saturated, mouth-filling blackberry fruit. Winemaker Sean Capiaux, who has worked as assistant winemaker at Peter Michael Winery and Pine Ridge Winery, has crafted a Cabernet that gives all the elegance and structure of Bordeaux, but with the delicious fruit from Napa Valley. The 2007 raises eyebrows now, but if you can wait, the wine will drink like velvet 3-5 years from now. Small production-only 850 cases. $59.99
