2005 Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cuvee Ready for Release
Greetings again from the Napa Valley! Although we are barely into the New Year, it has been very active. Our 2005 Big Ranch Vineyard® Merlot, 2005 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon and 2005 Cuvée are ready to move from our cellar to yours. We held back the release of these wines to give them more time to recover from bottling last July and they are now ready!
The Merlot continues in our style of elegant, bright fruit with lots of structure and flavor. The Cabernet is a blend from two of Napa’s most notable AVA’s, Oak Knoll District and Oakville. This results in a wine with great depth of character and flavor. We’re sure that you will enjoy them as much as we do.
In this newsletter you will find a new wine that we are very excited about, the 2005 Napa Valley Cuvée. Our Cuvée is a Cabernet based blend of Bordeaux varietals blended and priced to be enjoyed daily.
At the winery, we have been busy bottling the 2007 Ruby Tuesday Rosé which is ready to be released. Given the overwhelming demand last year (we sold out the first day) we produced twice as much this year. Don’t get left out this year and order now!
Mark your calendars to save the date for our May 17th release party. Invitations will be sent but save the date. If you are unable to attend then we extend an invitation for you to stop by on your next visit to the Napa Valley.
Thank you for your ongoing support, encouragement and patronage.
History
Beginning in 1998 when we purchased our property on Big Ranch Road in Napa, we held a vision that very special wines and memories could be created in this location. Since then over 20,000 vines of Merlot, Syrah,, Cabernet Franc, Malbec and Cabernet Sauvignon have been planted, tended, nurtured, harvested, crushed and coaxed into fine wine.
The vineyard is located in the Oak Knoll Appellation of the Napa Valley which is known for its' slightly cooler climate and clay soils. This environment produces ultra-premium Merlot and Syrah used in many of Napa Valley's most sought after wines.
Today, while we still sell over 95% of our grapes to other premium wineries we also produce very limited quantities of ultra-premium wine. These wines are produced using only the best materials and practices in search of creating wines that reflect a full bodied style that express the best attributes of the land.
If you have any questions or would like to visit the vineyard please contact us. We would be happy to discuss our wines with you.
Sincerely,
Joan & Stan Boyd
