 RAMEY PEDREGAL PROPRIETARY RED 
Vintage: 2008

 RAMEY PEDREGAL PROPRIETARY RED 
sku # 2478844
Red Wine Hand-Picked
96 Pts RP r <font color=red><strong>96+ pts Parker</strong></font><br><br>The 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon Pedregal Vineyard brings together all of the elements of the Ramey house style. A beautiful, well-articulate bouquet melds into layers of dark fruit. Clean, vibrant mineral notes give the wine its energy and vitality. This is a typical Oakville Cabernet loaded with class and pedigree. Exotic spiced notes wrap around the textured, multi-dimensional finish. This is a dazzling showing. The 2008 Pedregal is 84% Cabernet Sauvignon and 16% Petit Verdot aged for 24 months in 100% new French oak barrels. Anticipated maturity: 2016-2028.<br>David Ramey is one of the few California winemakers who thinks in terms of structure, not just flavor, something that sets him apart from many of his peers. All of the wines I tasted at Ramey’s cellar just outside Healdsburg were terrific. I also sampled a number of older wines, all of which have held up very well. Best of all, most of the wines remain very fairly priced considering the quality of what is in the bottle. My visit ended with the 2001 Cabernet Jericho Canyon Road, which was stunning. At age 10 it remains an infant. I only wish I owned it. The next best thing is Ramey’s new Annum bottling from 2009 forward, the vintage in which the main vineyard source switched to Shartsis, a parcel in Rutherford close to Dana Estates’s Helms vineyard. The Pedregal, from a vineyard in Oakville, is perhaps even better, but it also costs twice as much. The appellation Chardonnays spend 12 months in oak, ranging from 20-25% new, while the vineyard designates spent 18 months in oak, with a higher percentage of new barrels.

93 Pts RP r <FONT color=#ff0000><STRONG>Reg. Price $89.99 -- GRAPES Price $80.99 SAVE 10%<BR>93 pts Parker </STRONG></FONT> <P><BR><BR>One of the great Napa Cabs from this incredible vintage. Parkers highest rated ever. Spectator vintage of the decade and 99 pts. We found Penche through the Wine Spectator Article New Faces Of Napa which focuses on the new top producers. In 1999, Scott and Pauline Asbill purchased a home with 4 acres of grapes in the Oak Knoll District of Napa Valley. First the couple sold their grapes, but after meeting with winemaker Jay Buoncristiani in 2005, they decided to create their own label. They named it Penché, French for leaning or tilting, a reference to a 300-year-old oak tree that leans dramatically on the property. In this spectacular vintage we were very honored to be able to offer their tiny production Cabernet.<BR><BR><B>Tasting Notes:</B><BR><BR>Dark garnet hue; Deeply layered aromas of cassis, blueberry, chocolate, toasty French oak, sweet vanilla, cedar, floral perfume, rosemary, anise, and black pepper. Expect a big, full and rich mid palate density laced with intense flavors of ripe blackberries, black cherry, integrated toasty oak and mouth-coating chocolate. The persistent yet balanced finish exhibits excellent depth, purity and elegance. Winemarker, Jay Buoncristiani.<BR><B>Robert parker:</B> A brilliant effort, the 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon exhibits more blueberry, black raspberry, and floral notes intertwined with underbrush and foresty characteristics that suggest a cool climate Cabernet Sauvignon. With impressive finesse, concentration, and substance, it should provide immense pleasure over the next two decades. I enjoyed the combination of gracefulness plus power that these wines offer. They all reveal freshness, intensity, and beautiful purity. </P>
