Note di degustazione
(14.7% alcohol; a blend of sites): Bright ruby-red. Slightly high-toned aromas of currant, mocha and lead pencil. Dense, sweet and ripe, with a suave texture and little greenness to the flavors of currant and chocolate. Finishes with sweet, even tannins, very good vinosity and serious length. Excellent for the vintage.

The 2011 Cabernet Sauvignon Silencieux is a much larger cuvee of 1,568 cases from top sources in Napa. Another big time winner, it is not quite as profound as its 2010 siblings or the 2011 Bone Ash and Family Reserve, but it is a delicious, reasonably priced Napa Cabernet Sauvignon that showcases Venge’s Midas touch with this varietal. Rich, concentrated, round and generous, this is a sumptuous Cabernet Sauvignon with no hard edges. Enjoy it now and over the next 10-15 years. Kirk Venge purchased the brand in 2008 from his father Nils and has been making the wines for Venge Family Reserve ever since. The Venge family, charismatic father Nils and son Kirk, sourced the Bone Ash Cabernet from their 12-acre family vineyard in Calistoga. The name is taken from the white volcanic soils that some refer to as tufa. Tel. (707) 942-9100
