2007 Money Road Ranch Cabernet Sauvignon

The least expensive offering, the 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon Money Road Ranch (a 1,000-case blend of 97% Cabernet Sauvignon and 3% Merlot), offers copious aromas of espresso roast, new saddle leather, cassis, spice box, and red currants. A judicious touch of oak provides a spicy character, the tannins are sweet and soft, and the wine is fleshy, full-bodied, expansive, and savory. The most approachable of these cuvees, it should drink beautifully for 15 or more years. This trio of impressive Cabernet Sauvignon-based wines combine the best of Napa’s ripe, lavish fruit with the structure and aging potential of a top Bordeaux. Tel. (707) 944-2770
