True to the flavors of this vineyard, the 2005 Syrah shows smokey cherry and wild plum aromas, with a touch of dried lavender and nutmeg. On the palate, the wine shows its ripe concentration yet retains an overall impression of elegance, with a soft, polished texture at the finish.
This is an irresistible blend of Bordeaux varietals from A portfolio of first-class blocks in Napa vineyards. The composition of the wine is 51% Merlot, 36% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Cabernet Franc, and 5% Petit Verdot. The dense purple-hued 2007 Four Voices possesses abundant notes of sweet cassis interwoven with acacia flowers and crushed rocks. Deep and medium to full-bodied with excellent texture, richness, and sweetness, it should drink beautifully for two decades or more.
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.
In its debut vintage, our Sodaro Estate Blend won a Double-Gold at the San Francisco Chronicle Wine Tasting Competition in February of 2009. Made from the finest grapes produced by our single vineyard, this Estate Blend is made up of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Cabernet Franc, 20% Petit Verdot, and 5% Malbec.
Dark, full red. Raspberry, blackberry, graphite, violet, licorice, game and sexy oak tones of smoke and baking spices on the nose. Supple and sweet if a bit youthfully aggressive, with intense dark berry and coffee flavors complicated by spicy oak and a wild gamey nuance. Boasts very good palate presence and finishes with substantial tongue-clenching tannins and very good length.
