The Wine Spectator rated the 2007 vintage 94-97 points and Robert Parker rated the 2007 vintage 96 points! We think it's the best vintage since 1997!

We've been eagerly awaiting to the release of the 2007 Oakville East Exposure Cabernet Sauvignon. It's fourth vintage produced is easily it's best vintage to date. The vineyards are located on the eastern section of Oakville neighboring Screaming Eagle, Rudd, Dalla Valle, and Phelps Backus. Some of the fruit for the Oakville East was used for Cakebread Three Sisters and Dalla Valle Maya in the past. So, even though the winery is new the vineyards have been producing great wine for a long time.

The Oakville East is one of the top Cabs coming out of Napa that is still under-the-radar at least with those who have not tasted the wine yet. As soon as we receive the new vintage we email those customers that have previously bought the wine and it seems every year we're selling more and more upon release.

On individual merits, this 2007 Cabernet blend stands strong, but it's the sum of the total which really ups the ante; gentle swells of blue and black fruit tickle the nose, as plushy waves of roasted plum, cedar and distinctive minerality coat the palate. Round, elegant tannins finely integrate with the intense concentration, balance, and an endless finish.We highly recommend this explosive Cabernet from one of the best Napa vintages in over a decade.
