Goldschmidt Crazy Creek Cabernet Sauvignon 2007

Varietal: Cabernet Sauvignon

Vineyard: Goldschmidt Vineyard

Region: Sonoma County, California

The thirty acre Crazy Creek Vineyard lies just east of the town of Geyserville in the renowned Alexander Valley wine region. Its old, low vigor vines consistently produce cabernet sauvignon with more power and depth than typically found in the appellation. Stylistically, Nick strives for full body and power in the mouth with wood behind the fruit. Few single vineyard cabernet sauvignons are offered at such a reasonable price. Full-bodied.

Tasting note: Elegant and round with sweet blackberry and plum flavors framed in spicy oak. The 2007 vintage shows more power than the 2006 yet still has soft tannins and a broad middle palate.
