Veraison (2004)

The crucial time during ripening when the grapes' skin color deepens from an opaque green to a dark purple.

The origin of great wine is superb fruit. Veraison honors this philosophy with its Bordeaux-inspired Cabernet Sauvignon and a blend called Synchrony. The fruit for these wines is sourced from Stagecoach Vineyard.

2004 Veraison Cabernet Franc, Stagecoach Vineyard

Aromas of raspberry, strawberry, dark cherry, cedar, sage and white pepper are followed by flavors of dark plum, anise and raspberry ending in a long finish of exquisite raspberry tea. Elegantly textured and nuanced, this wine is a perfect complement for pork, veal chop and lamb. Enjoy now through 2015.

2004 Veraison Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley

Deep red and crimson in color. The aromas abound from the glass to reveal blueberries and dark plums along with dried sage, dark chocolate, mint and a degree of earthiness. The palate is medium bodied, yet extraordinarily rich. The palate is that of ripe blueberries, raspberries, blackcurrant and dark cherry along with a beautiful savory nature. The mouth feel is finely knit, with firm, supple tannins and a long finish. Enjoy with Prime rib steak or Wild mushroom risotto & Venison. Drink now through 2011.
