2019 Greer Cabernet Sauvignon | Rutherford, Napa Valley California 750ml

Greer Vineyard is a small, three acre domaine located in the heart of the Rutherford Bench (however defined). It is part of the terroir that first made Napa Valley internationally famous, and inspired Andre Tchelistcheff to declare "it takes Rutherford Dust to grow great Cabernet." Our illustrious next-vine and nearby neighbors, including Scarecrow (J.J. Cohn), Staglin, and Phelps (Insignia) have burnished the credibility of his proclamation.
Our inaugural wine was the 2007, an auspicious first vintage released in August, 2011. Our fruit is sourced solely from our family vineyard, which produces 100% cabernet sauvignon from 101-14 rootstock grafted with clone 4, the See clone, and the Wiemer clone. Aaron Pott is our winemaker. His broad global experience, skill, and innate talent have created wine rivaling his flamboyant predictions - and exceeding our unspoken hopes. | Greer

...more round and supple, with loads of pure Napa magic in its notes of creme de cassis, toasted spice, smoked tobacco, and cedar pencil. Full-bodied, opulent, and loaded with fruit, it still stays pure, precise, and focused, with ripe tannins, a layered, multi-dimensional texture, and one incredible finish. I finished my notes with "Awesome." Both the 2018 and 2019 are incredible, singular wines readers should seek out. | 99 points, Jeb Dunnuck for jebdunnuck.com
