ÆROS® 2008
Napa Valley Estate Meritage
This vintage proudly marks the 14th ÆROS release in our 27-year
history, a remarkably opulent, complex blend. Geoff Gorsuch, our
Winemaker, carefully selected the finest lots of Cabernet
Sauvignon, Petit Verdot, Merlot and Cabernet Franc exclusively from
our Estate to create a wine of extraordinary beauty, intensity and
majestic proportion.
A roller coaster of a growing season presented nearly textbook
harvest conditions, setting the stage for excellence. The best
Bordeaux clones, three of Cabernet Sauvignon and two each of
Cabernet Franc and Merlot were married with Petit Verdot through
repeated tasting trials, over a period of months, maximizing
complexity and bringing the four varieties into perfect
balance.
Stunning – a complex expression of intense, yet nuanced, flavors
are united with the ÆROS signature elegance. The wine is dark
garnet in color with aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry, cigar box,
and fennel. Polished black cherry, cassis flavors, cocoa, mint, and
espresso coat the palate and linger, finishing with ripe tannins.
The ÆROS Meritage will develop even greater complexity in the
cellar over the next 5-8 years or decant for 1-2 hours before
drinking now.
