Winemaker's Notes:

Our first release from the 2007 vintage highlights the wonderful fruit from the exceptional growing season of 2007. Our Claret bottling is always a fun labor of love. This wine allows us not only to utilize our estate Stags Leap vineyard fruit but also allows us to work with other Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot Vineyards from throughout the southern portion of the Napa Valley.

The 2007 harvest started with Merlot from both our Stags Leap Estate and other vineyards, followed by Cabernet Franc and finally finishing with the Cabernet Sauvignon fruit. We worked with all the growers to insure that we received the fruit at optimal ripeness. As we harvested the vineyards each of the blocks were processed separately.
