2006 Elevation 1147
COMPOSITION100% Cabernet Sauvignon
VINEYARDS
The Elevation 1147 is made from each year’s most outstanding Cabernet Sauvignon grown in our estate Vineyards. Planted in 1978, the David Arthur Estate Vineyards are located on the top of Pritchard Hill, overlooking the Napa Valley. These few vines have been consistent in their exceptional quality and intriguing flavor profile, inspiring us to bottle the Elevation 1147 as a single vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon.
FERMENTATION AND AGING
The wine aged for 23 months in 90% new 60-gallon French oak barrels.
WINEMAKER NOTES
Nile Zacherle- Winemaker
“Aromas of vanilla roasted coffee beans and toasted oak spice back dense fruit aromas of blueberry, dark cherry and cassis. Hints of earth and forest floor complex the nose. Its concentration is truly full palate and has a round, plush and firm styling that carries the dark fruits to a long finish.”
(age for 10 to 20 years)
