Snowden Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve 2007

97 points, Robert Parker, Wine Advocate
December 2009
The dazzling 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve (86% Cabernet Sauvignon and 14% Cabernet Franc) requires 2-5 more years of bottle age, but should evolve for three decades. Its dense purple color is accompanied by a thrilling bouquet of espresso roast, smoked herbs, licorice, creme de cassis, blackberries, and ink. The wine hits the palate with a blast of fruit, a full-bodied mouthfeel, and tremendous purity, definition, and length. The sensational purity and exquisite balance between all its elements are impressive as well as noteworthy.

About the Winery Snowden
The following notes confirm what I wrote last year about this somewhat under-the-radar winery. Snowden produces just under 2,000 cases of extraordinary wine from their 23 acres of hillside vineyards on the eastern side of Napa, above the Auberge du Soleil. Proprietor Scott Snowden and his daughter, Diane (whose permanent home is in Burgundy), along with consultant David Ramey have fashioned superb reds along with a delicious, French-inspired Sauvignon Blanc. For Napa Cabernets, Snowden’s wines are relatively great bargains for their quality.

Buoncristiani Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon THE CORE 2006

97 Points - The Wine Advocate - Robert Parker - "The magnificent 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon - The Core is a selection of the estate’s finest barrels that is aged 24 months in 100% new French oak. Its inky/ruby/purple color is followed by dense blackberry and cassis flavors intermixed with hints of espresso roast, subtle oak, and lead pencil shavings. Layered, full-bodied, and elegant, it is one of the truly magnificent wines produced in 2006. Drink this classic Napa Cabernet Sauvignon between 2012 and 2030+."

A BOND OF FOUR BROTHERS

2006 is the premiere release of THE CORE, a wine that represents the very best of Buoncristiani Cabernet Sauvignon from the vintage. Each year the four Buoncristiani Brothers craft multiple single vineyard Cabernet Sauvignons from premium Napa Valley vineyard blocks, and THE CORE is the culmination of meticulous blending of carefully selected lots. Choice barrels are folded together slowly over the course of two years, diligently creating a balance of power and elegance, and then captured in bottle without fining or filtration. At the heart of the Buoncristiani portfolio is THE CORE.

We, the Buoncristiani brothers, take pride in performing all aspects of enology, viticulture, wine production, and art design in order to share with you a true expression of our winemaking passion.
