ÆROS® Founder's Tribute
Napa Valley Estate Meritage
Napa Valley Meritage – “Founder’s Tribute” ÆROS… A Sensual
Expression of Purpose, Form and Passion This vintage proudly marks
our 4th ÆROS Meritage release in our 26-year history - a remarkably
opulent, complex blend from two vintage years. Winemaker, Geoff
Gorsuch, carefully selected the finest lots of Cabernet Sauvignon,
Petit Verdot, Merlot and Cabernet Franc exclusively from our
Yountville Estate to create a wine of extraordinary character,
intensity and majestic proportion.
We took the best components of vintages 2007 and 2008 and
combined them into a single whole that proved to be better than the
sum of its parts; resulting in this one-of-a-kind, extremely
limited production wine. 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 these classic
varietals into perfect balance.
Unforgettable: an expression of intense fruit character showing
depth of flavors are united with the ÆROS signature elegance. The
provocative scent of blackberry, ripe plum, chocolate, spice,
eucalyptus, and mocha unfolds into layers of cherry, clove,
cinnamon and vanilla that coat the palate and linger, finishing
with toasty oak and firm tannins. ÆROS will develop even greater
complexity in the cellar over the years to come.
Hedonistic, and much too alluring to pass up now, the 10th ÆROS
release will develop even greater complexity in the cellar over the
years to come.
