Select Cuvée

2007 Red Hills Lake County Cabernet Sauvignon

The Steeplechase Select Cuvée is a delightful Cabernet Sauvignon hailing from the picturesque Red Hills Lake County, known for its stunning volcanic soil and ideal climate for grape growing. This 2007 vintage showcases a deep, garnet hue that invites you in, while the nose reveals an enticing bouquet of blackcurrant, cherry, and hints of tobacco intertwined with subtle earthiness. On the palate, this full-bodied wine presents a harmonious balance of vibrant acidity and well-integrated tannins, offering a smooth, rich mouthfeel. The fruit intensity is pronounced, delivering layers of ripe dark fruits complemented by delightful notes of spice and oak. With a beautifully crafted profile, the Steeplechase Select Cuvée is a dry red that's perfect for pairing with hearty dishes or enjoying on its own.

The North Coast AVA is a vast "super region" covering three million acres of prime land north of San Francisco. It encompasses the famous wine counties of Napa, Sonoma and Mendocino, as well as Lake, Marin and Solano. While most wines from these counties are made under one of the prestigious regional AVAs, winemakers can also blend grapes from different counties. In this way, they create wines that show off the quality of the entire region and are not limited to specific terroirs. Common varieties include Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Merlot, Sauvignon Blanc and Zinfandel.
