Item Description

Up for auction is a full case (12 bottles) of 2480 fine wine.  Case is of six bottles Chardonnay and six bottles Cabernet Sauvignon. The 2006 Chardonnay displays bright lime zest, delicate green apple and apple blossom, and fresh pear flavors. The palate is full of crisp bright fruit with a rich silkiness on the finish. Atlas Peak Vineyards, located in the coolest growing region of Napa Valley, two blocks of vineyard combine several variations of Chardonnay: 60% Hermann Wiemer selection (originally from Upstate New York), the other 40%, a blend of Clones 4, 15, Dijon 76 and Dijon 96. Each type of Chardonnay vine adds its own unique flavors to the finished wine.The Hollywood & Vine 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon was harvested from five very unique growing regions, all within Napa Valley. The fruit comes from the highest reaches of Mount Veeder, the exceptional terroir of the Oakville and Rutherford Bench, and from the steepest Spring Mountain slopes.  Harvested in separate small lots between October 3 and October 31, 2005, the vineyards were kept entirely separate in barrels for the first 6 months, then judiciously blended and allowed to “marry” for several additional months of aging before being lightly filtered for clarity, previous to bottling in May of 2007.  This ultra-ripe Cabernet shows the complexity of its multi-faceted origins.  Juicy black cherry and raspberry notes from Oakville and Rutherford dominate the aromas, as Spring Mountain’s trademark purple plum, mocha, and sweet black olive notes add complexity. 

Special Instructions
