Today, this history-making vineyard continues to produce wines with layers of complexity, spicy intensity and excellent structure, promising long life and age-ability.
1997 a sliglty cooler vintage saw a small portion of Petite Verdot incorporated in the blend. 95.93% Cabernet Sauvignon, 3.82% Merlot and 0.25% Petite Verdot. Producer note – “The 1997 S.L. V. is like a poem. Its aromas and flavors are subtle and complex. It shows its classic Bordeaux-like elements in graceful abundance. Nuances of white pepper and intriguing brambly qualities perfume the essence of black plum. Fruit is luscious on the palate with an elegant backbone of spicy French oak flavoring. The wine evolves through layers of tea leaf and cassis flavors that are accompanied by restrained tannins, echoing in a silky finish.”
