A big, bold, rich and expressive style that packs in lots of flavor, yet manages to be elegant and stylish without being heavy. Deep, perfumed currant, floral, spice and berry flavors coat the palate, ending with ripe, integrated tannins. Drink now through 2014. 1,750 cases made.
Named for the French vine clone, 337 is an alurring expression of a California cabernet sauvignon with prestigious Bordeaux roots.
A vibrant, sweet bouquet of raspberry jam, molasses and cinnamon toast evoke the senses of carefree youthful nights. Excellent oak integration provides silken tannins and spice to pair with Lodi’s unrestricted wild berry fruit.
Explosive aromas of rose petals, ginger, grapefruit, litchi nuts and nutmeg. Fresh floral, brown spice and citrus flavors unfold on the palate, extending through a lasting, crisp finish. The wine has a trace of residual sugar and slight effervescence.
93+ POINTS, Robert Parker, Jr., The Wine Advocate, February 2005
“Possesses aromas of white flowers intermixed with spice box, licorice, black currants, raspberries, cherries, toasty oak, and background scents of volcanic/scorched earth. With lovely richness, medium to full body, impressive purity, and a long, heady finish, it should hit its peak in 3-4 years, and last through 2020+.”
The brilliant Cabernet Sauvignon, by winemaker John Gibson, boasts a deep ruby/purple color as well as an elegant perfume of black currants, licorice, cedar, and subtle toasty oak. It is medium to full-bodied with sweet tannin, and a long, elegant finish. It should drink beautifully for 15 or more years.

THE WINE SPECTATOR
Bright cherry and raspberry pervade this complex layered wine. Cinnamon, clove, leather, cigar box, and chocolate serve as delicious counterpoints to the red berry fruit. A serious wine with excellent color and firm yet silky tannins.
