2007 Bodacious
Our 2007 Bodacious is a complex blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Malbec from the many outstanding appellations of Napa Valley. The primary source of grapes is from our Windfall Vineyard, located in the Rutherford Appellation – a region known for its rocky loam bale soils, ideal for producing worldclass Cabernets. Aromas of cherry and cocoa are followed by forward fruit flavors of cherry liqueur, cassis and bittersweet chocolate with just a hint of black tea. The mouth feel is full with balanced tannins and a long, lingering finish. Enjoy this wine now for its big, bold Bodacious flavors or continue to cellar several more years.
